Maternity / Paternity Testing - New Immigration Tool
A Maternity DNA test is used to determine whether a woman could be the biological mother of a tested child. Just like the paternity test, there is a comparison of the child’s DNA pattern with the alleged mother of the child to determine the likelihood that the child’s inherited the mother’s DNA
For a maternity test the child his or her alleged mother, and biological father are tested. Like the Paternity test, the father’s participation in the maternity test helps to exclude half of the child’s DNA, leaving the rest for comparison with the alleged mother. When the father is unavailable for sample collection, a fatherless test may be performed. Performing a fatherless test involves additional analysis, without an additional charge
The immigration maternity test is one of the tools the immigration / Homeland Security is using to establish a biological relationship between a mother and a child she wishes to sponsor and bring to the United States for permanent residence. The test must be performed by an AABB approved laboratory and results must be sent directly from the AABB lab to the consulate involved in whichever country they are wanting to immigrate from. Our testing labs have performed many immigration maternity tests in nearly all the countries of the world.
