Psychological Evaluations for Immigration Purposes!

A psychological evaluation for immigration is a necessary step when you seek permanent resident status in the United States. The goal of the assessment is to determine if you are eligible to live in the US. When you meet with one of our providers, they will ask you about your family history, work history, and medical and psychiatric history. We provide a written report of your immigration evaluation to your attorney to be used in immigration court.

You May Need an Immigration Evaluation!

There are five types of waivers for legal status that require a psychological evaluation. The type of evaluation needed is determined by which of the following categories you’re applying for. If you aren’t sure what category fits your situation, ask your attorney, or give us a call.

If separation from a relative of yours (who lives in the United States) would cause you physical, mental, or emotional harm, we encourage you to apply for an extreme hardship waiver. The immigration hardship evaluation we perform would have one goal: explaining what kind of hardship you would face if your loved one isn’t in the US with you.

If you faced systemic oppression, extreme deprivation, or persecution based on your religious or political beliefs and were forced to leave your home country, you may qualify for political asylum. The immigration evaluation will help you prove that the psychological damage you suffered is too significant for you to return to your home country. One of our providers guides you through anxiety, depression, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that your trauma caused.

If you are an undocumented immigrant who married a US citizen who abused you, you are eligible to petition for a legal status separate from them. The goal of the evaluation will be to prove you suffered mental, emotional, or physical abuse and that you require legal separation from your spouse.

Filing for a U-Visa can help you petition for a green card if you were the victim of a crime while in the United States. The crimes may include domestic violence, physical and sexual exploitation, kidnapping, trafficking, rape, and serious misdemeanors.

The T-Visa is similar to the U-Visa, but it only applies if you were trafficked into the United States. In other words, if you were forced into the country for human trafficking purposes and would not have come here otherwise, we recommend applying for the T-Visa. In such a case, our goal will be to document the psychological and emotional effects that human trafficking had on you.
