Story Highlights: Immigration DNA Testing
An article in a U.K. paper describes the frustration a father felt whenย immigration officials did not believe he was the father of a boyย for whom he was petitioning a visa, expressing his willingness to undergo a DNA test to prove the relationship. In the United States,ย aย New York Timesย article relates the story of a father whoย petitioned for his four sons to come to the United States,ย but only one was granted a visaโDNA testing revealed that only one was his biological child.
DNA testing for immigrationย has been increasingly used in the past few years in many countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. In many cases, the documents provided by petitioners are not sufficient to establish a biological relationshipโfor example:
- the required documents have been lost (or donโt existโnot all countries formally record births or marriages)
- originals were unavailable
- inconsistent facts were found in the documents submitted
In these cases, a DNA test provides an additional piece of evidence to prove a family relationship for an immigration case.
