Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the DNA testing process take to receive my DNA results?
There are no fixed turnaround times because appointment scheduling for beneficiaries in Paraguay is controlled by the U.S. Embassy. In our experience coordinating immigration DNA testing cases, many cases are completed within approximately six to eight weeks, although some cases may require additional time depending on embassy workload and appointment availability.
Once all DNA samples arrive at the laboratory, testing is generally completed within three business days. The laboratory will send the results directly to the requesting immigration agency and provide copies to the petitioner.
How accurate are my DNA Testing results?
All DNA samples are collected and analyzed by our partner AABB-accredited laboratory and meet strict industry standards. DNA test results showing 99.99% accuracy or higher are accepted by USCIS and U.S. consular offices and are used to confirm biological relationships for visa and CRBA applications.
Can I Perform A DNA Test Before Receiving An RFE or Embassy Request?
No. Immigration DNA testing should only begin after receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS or a written request from a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Passport Agency.
DNA tests performed independently before receiving an official request generally do not satisfy immigration chain-of-custody requirements. Performing a test too early can result in additional expenses and delays because the testing process may need to be repeated.
Does DNA testing guarantee visa or CRBA approval?
No. DNA testing is considered secondary evidence submission option used to help establish a claimed biological relationship when primary evidence is insufficient. The final decision regarding visa or CRBA issuance rests with USCIS or the consular officer assigned to the case.
Are CRBA and USCIS DNA testing performed the exact same way?
Yes, the process is exactly the same in terms of scheduling DNA testing appointments for both CRBA and USCIS DNA testing cases.
The only difference between the two is the content of the request for evidence letter.
Will my DNA results be kept private?
Yes, all DNA results are kept private, and results will only be released to the requesting immigration agency and the participants included in the DNA test.
In addition, all DNA samples are kept on file for up to 90 days. After 90 days, all DNA samples are destroyed.
