DDC Helps Unite Family Through DNA Testing for Immigration
This year, DDC helped make Mother’s Day very special for one Ohio family. The Ezenagus are originally from Nigeria but now live together in a Northern suburb of Cincinnati, and it has taken over a decade for all members of the family to secure their visas, or “green cards,” and immigrate to the United States.
For the Ezenagu family and countless other families seeking immigration, DNA testing is often one piece in a complicated puzzle that makes up the immigration process. The United States may request DNA testing to verify that a biological relationship exists between relatives before approving their application. DDC’s Immigration Department routinely works with embassies abroad to coordinate DNA testing for relatives of U.S. citizens just as it did in the Ezenagus’ case.
To read more about the Ezenagus’ journey to the U.S., and how DDC played a key role in bringing them together, read our feature article here.
