Immigration DNA Testing

Dec 15, 2011 | Immigration DNA Testing

The OC Register is running a series of stories entitled “Faces of Immigration,” featuring real-life stories of people whose lives have been affected by immigration. This week’s article features how a DNA test allowed a 19-year-old Vietnamese boy to finally reunite with his mother: he was 10 years old when his immigration case was first filed.
The family was not initially given the option to take a maternity DNA test to prove the biological relationship required for a family-based visa. These days, DNA testing for immigration is becoming more common, and many people are well-informed about how a DNA test can provide evidence for a biological relationship when family records are missing, or when immigration officials deem the presented records unacceptable or insufficient to prove a family relationship.
