Immigration DNA Testing for Eritrea

Helpful Contact Information:

US Embassy and Consular Services of Eritrea website:http://eritrea.usembassy.gov/

The Embassy accepts applications for immigrant visas on Thursdays from 8:30 am to 10:00 am. "Immigrant visas" include immediate relatives, as well as special immigrants. This is how to apply for a visa:

Immigrant visas generally require a petition filed in the United States by an American citizen or legal permanent resident in favor of an alien beneficiary, or with the closest Department Of Homeland Security (DHS) office in the region, and few cases at Post. For more inquiries you may call us at 291-1-120004 between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM Monday thru Thursday.

Priority dates

In all immigrant visa categories except for immediate relative ("IR") cases, U.S. law limits the number, which can be issued each year. To find out whether visas are available yet in your category, go to The Bureau of Consular Affairs Home Page or call at 202-663-1225. If your case is not yet current, the consular officer cannot issue you an immigrant visa under U.S. law.

Processing current and "IR" cases

If the Immigration Service sent you notice of approval in an immediate relative case, or if your petition is in a numerically limited category with a current priority date (see above), the consulate can process your case. If your case is current or "IR" category, the alien relative beneficiary can activate his/her case by requesting, by mail, an interview appointment. The request should include a copy of the "Notice of Approval of Petition" provided by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. It should be mailed to the attention of the Immigrant Visa Section to the address above.

Diversity Visas ("Visa Lottery")

The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is administered on an annual basis by the Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 to provide for a new class of immigrants known as "diversity immigrants" (DV immigrants). The Act makes available 50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.

The annual DV program makes permanent residence visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. A computer-generated random lottery drawing chooses applicants for Diversity Visas. The visas, however, are distributed among six geographic regions with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to citizens of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the past five years. Within each region, no one country may receive more than seven percent of the available Diversity Visas in any one year.

About Our Services

DNA Identifiers provides a very convenient and private DNA Testing service - we will travel to you in order to collect your DNA sample. (Therefore, you will not have to travel to a clinic, or draw site, and pay collection fees.) We will meet with you at a safe and convenient location, most likely your residence or lawyer’s office.

Upon the arrival of one of our Certified DNA Collectors, you will need to provide full payment, valid photo identification and a copy of the immigration paperwork from the Embassy, including the case number and the contact information for the “beneficiary” in the foreign county. During the testing/collection appointment, the collector will take a photograph of your face, fill out the laboratory’s legal paperwork and collect a DNA sample using a painless cotton swab (buccal).

Service Fees

The DNA Testing Fee varies according to type of test, number of people being tested and testing location. We offer competitive rates and fair prices. Please call a DNA Identifiers representative for more info and a service quote.

Beyond the DNA Testing Fees, you, the client, will also need to pay World Wide Express International Shipping fees for approximately three shipments.

1. The DNA Sample Collection Kit to be shipped to the collection location (Embassy appointed/approved Doctor/Clinic)

2. The completed DNA Sample Collection Kit to be shipped back to the laboratory in the US

3. The official, LEGAL, notarized documents to be shipped directly from the lab back to the Embassy in the county of origin for processing.

DNA Identifiers will accept Cash, Money Order, Visa or Master Card.
