What Is an Immigration Psychological Evaluation?
An immigration psychological evaluation is a clinical assessment that documents the emotional, psychological, and relational impacts of your life experiences.
Our evaluations help provide attorneys and immigration officers with important clinical information that may support your case.
Each report is prepared carefully to be:
Objective and clinically thorough
Culturally sensitive and trauma-informed
Tailored to the needs of your specific immigration process
We Provide Evaluations For:
VAWA Petitions — supporting survivors of domestic violence or abuse.
Hardship Waivers (I-601, I-601A) — outlining emotional hardship faced by qualifying relatives.
U-Visa Applications — documenting psychological effects from surviving serious crimes.
Cancellation of Removal Cases — highlighting the severe hardship deportation would cause to family members.
