Psychological evaluations are used to help immigration courts determine whether an individual will be able to remain lawfully in the United States.

An immigration evaluation begins with a consultation with your attorney to gather pertinent information about your case and its specific legal issues. The immigration evaluation itself includes in-depth interviews that occur over the course of 2 to 3 meetings. During the assessment process, we offer psychosocial evaluations for immigration cases, which are often used in the following situations:

​

• Waivers (I-601 and I-601A)

• Cancellation of Removal

• VAWA and Spousal Abuse

• U-Visas

• Asylum, Withholding of Removal and Convention Against Torture

​

The immigration evaluation consists of an in-person interview followed by several questionnaires to assess a client’s current symptoms.  The results from the interview are integrated into the narrative of the evaluation.  A report is then drafted and sent confidentially to the attorney.  Once they approve the final draft, a final report is mailed to the attorney handling your case.

​

Reports are composed of a compilation of 2-3 sessions that range from 60-190 minutes that included psychological testing and data. Reports range from 10-25 pages.
