02/21/2026 Many applicants from Bathinda fly abroad on sponsored visas every year. It’s because some of their family members are already residing there. When those members sponsor the visas of other family members living in India, the embassies thoroughly verify their application requests.


Upon suspecting the family ties, they may either reject the application or ask for a DNA test report for further validation. That’s where the immigration DNA tests in Bathinda help Punjab-based applicants to strongly prove the family ties.


Why Do Embassies Suspect a Visa Application?

There are several reasons why the immigration authorities may suspect a visa application. Some of the common reasons are:

• Missing or unclear documents
  
• Despite the biological connection, the sponsor's and applicant’s surnames do not match
  
• Prior history of visa rejection
  
• The photographs on the passport and visa application do not match
  

Categories of Family Links Confirmed in a Sponsored Immigration

The following family ties are verified using a DNA test in Bathinda and other areas for the different needs of applicants:

1. Paternity - It confirms the father-child biological relationship in a sponsored immigration.
2. Maternity - This validates the mother-child genetic bond.
3. Siblingship - This test verifies the genetic link between the siblings.
4. Grandparentage - To confirm the family link between a grandparent and a grandchild.
5. Avuncular - The family ties of an uncle/aunt with their nephew/niece are authenticated using this test.

Immigration DNA Testing Procedure

An Immigration DNA test is done in the following manner:


1. Scheduling the Appointment
The interested party initially schedules an appointment at a lab to have their DNA samples collected. The same lab coordinates the test accordingly if the sponsor and the applicant are living in different countries at the time of testing.
2. Sample CollectionThe DNA samples from the sponsor and the applicant are collected by a lab expert using a cheek swab method. The cotton swab is rubbed on the inside of the cheek walls to obtain epithelial cells. It’s a non-invasive, painless, and safe procedure for individuals of all ages.
3. Lab ExaminationThe DNA samples are later securely sealed and sent to a lab for further examination. The experts in the lab then analyze and compare the DNA samples to find the potential genetic match.
4. The Final ReportAfter completing the analysis, a final report is generated, which states whether the genetic link between the sponsor and the applicant exists. This report is then confidentially sent to the address of the tested party.

Chain of Custody Procedure in Immigration DNA Tests

Sometimes, the embassy demands a DNA test under a strict chain of custody procedure. In this process, the DNA samples from the sponsor and the applicant are collected under the watch of an embassy official.


Until the samples are securely sealed in a tamper-proof package, the expert continues to monitor the process. Also, the final report of this test is sent directly to the embassy that requested the test. In this case, the final report isn’t sent to the tested party to maintain the privacy and integrity of the report.
