How long does an immigration DNA test take?
The turnaround time in order to receive your results will depend on a couple of factors.
1. Do all parties involved with the DNA test reside in the U.S.
2. Does the beneficiary live abroad
Domestic DNA testing services have an average turnaround time of 1 to 3 business days from the date in which the laboratory receives all genetic samples. If one or more parties reside abroad the average turnaround time pre-COVID-19 was 6 to 8 weeks.
