Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to receive my paternity test results?
Turnaround time for results to be completed for Manhattan residents is 3 business days from the date on which the lab receives all genetic samples.
Will my DNA results be accepted by Immigration agency?
Yes. Immigration agencies accept DNA testing for immigration purposes when the petitioner has received an RFE from an agency such as USCIS or a U.S. Embassy.
Submitting DNA test results as evidence of a biological relationship without an RFE may lead to denial because the evidence may not meet chain–of–custody guidelines for immigration submissions.
Can DNA Testing be performed if each person resides in different cities?
Yes. When one party resides in a different city and we have a facility in our network near the city where the other party resides, testing can be scheduled. For example, in cases where one person resides in Manhattan we can schedule an appointment one of locations like our Manhattan location.
Call 888-204-0583 for free phone consultation or to schedule an appointment today.
Can an infant participate in a DNA Test?
Yes. DNA testing can be performed on infants, including newborns who are only a few days old. The collection process is painless and involves obtaining a DNA sample from the inside of the infant’s cheek using a sterile swab. Since a person’s DNA remains the same throughout life, age does not affect the accuracy of the DNA test.your DNA is your DNA and we are able to acquire a DNA sample for an infant.
How long does a DNA sample collection take?
A DNA sample collection appointment typically takes about 15 minutes to complete. The process includes identity verification, completion of chain-of-custody documentation, headshot photographs, and DNA sample collection. Additional time may be needed when several participants are being tested or questions arise during the appointment.
Can I eat before my appointment?
We recommend avoiding food and beverages for approximately one hour before your DNA sample collection appointment to help ensure a clean specimen. For example, if your appointment is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and you finished breakfast at 10:00 a.m., there is generally no cause for concern.
However, eating shortly before your appointment may leave food particles in the mouth that can interfere with specimen collection. A good practice is to let the DNA collector know if you have recently eaten so that appropriate steps can be taken before the samples are collected.
Can I use an At-Home Paternity Test Kit in Manhattan NY?
No. You cannot perform a home paternity test in New York State. The NYSDOH strictly prohibits the sale of at-home DNA test kits to residents.
All DNA tests must be conducted as legally admissible tests with a chain of custody to comply with NYSDOH guidelines.
