Immigration Evaluations
An immigration psychological evaluation is a written assessment prepared by a licensed mental health professional. It is submitted as supporting evidence alongside an immigration filing. An evaluation is not legal advice and does not decide a case; it documents clinical findings for the adjudicator to consider.
Common Evaluation Types
Extreme Hardship
Used in waiver cases to document the impact that separation or relocation would have on a qualifying relative.
Asylum
May document psychological effects consistent with an applicant's account of past harm or fear of persecution.
VAWA
May address the effects of abuse described in a self-petition under the Violence Against Women Act.
T Visa
May address the effects of human trafficking described in a T nonimmigrant status application.
U Visa
May address the effects of qualifying criminal activity described in a U nonimmigrant status application.
