Ask any immigrant to describe the process they are going through to bring a loved one to the U.S. They will choose lots of decriptive words when discussing the paperwork, pricing, Embassy employees, and the waiting, and "convenient" will not be one of the words they will use. The immigration process is far from convenient, but a DNA test doesn't have to be. Experienced AABB accredited immigration DNA testing labs will make the entire process convenient and easy for the client. Here's three ways a DNA lab will make the process convenient.
- The DNA Collection - If you ned to travel more than 30 miles to a collection facility you either live in the sticks, or the DNA lab is not making it convenient for you. The DNA testing industry has become significantly more competitive in the past 5 years, and immigration DNA labs are working harder than ever to set themselves apart by providing excellent service. Many have affiliate collection sites throughout the country. Others promise to schedule the DNA collection in the clients home, at their convenience.
- Tracking - Since DNA samples are being shipped back and forth between countries, tracking becomes a major factor in completing an immigration DNA test. The lab chosen should provide all needed tracking numbers and shipping information so the case is easily monitored.
- Results - DNA test for immigration results must be sent directly from the laboratory to U.S. immigration services. Your lab should also send a copy to you for reference. Having your own copy of the results will allow you to show proof that the test was completed should the Embassy claim they didn't receive the results.
When it comes to the family-based immigration process, you can expect a difficult and often drawn out process. When it comes time to take a DNA test for immigration, expect convenience and simplicity from the lab you choose.
