During the immigration application process, a petitioner may be requested to supply additional evidence of a claimed family relationship. To obtain this evidence, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) center or U.S. embassy may suggest DNA testing, which has become recognized around the world as the most accurate and definitive method of verifying biological relationships.

The USCIS center or U.S. embassy may or may not suggest a specific laboratory to perform the DNA testing. DDC can provide the DNA testing services you need.

• We are AABB-accredited, and we meet and exceed the standards established by the USCIS and U.S. embassies for immigration DNA testing.

• We have a special Immigration Department that is dedicated to serving our immigration clients' needs. This team has worked with immigration agencies, petitioners, and beneficiaries around the world for more than a decade.

• We have the largest network of sample collection sites in the world. Your sample collection appointment will be as convenient for you as possible.

Our credentials and experience show that we can be trusted to carefully handle the DNA testing for your immigration case.
