Our immigration DNA testing referral services is designed to work smoothly and seamlessly to help expedite what can be a lengthy process. The sponsoring party’s DNA is collected in a clinic that is located domestically, while the DNA samples of the relatives are typically collected at the U.S. Consulate office in their home country. Their DNA specimens are shipped to the lab where it is analyzed. When the report is complete, the lab submits it to the USCIS. Health Street does not perform immigration DNA tests; rather, we can make the appropriate referral to the correct AABB certified lab that can handle this process for you.
