We offer several different types of immigration psychological evaluations:

Your attorney can use a clinical evaluation to support your case and move you forward with your immigration proceedings. It is a valuable tool when applying for an immigration waiver.

There are a number of reasons why a psychological evaluation would be helpful – or sometimes even required – in order to move forward with immigration proceedings.

 These reports consist of a thorough document your legal counsel can use to strengthen your court case. For example, when looking at asylum cases as an example, while only 30% of asylum seekers  are approved, 90% of those who have a psychological evaluation as part of their asylum application are approved.

If your attorney suggested that you obtain a report of a psychological evaluation, you’ve come to the right place!

The most active part of psychological evaluation with our team will be a clinical interview. It is not meant to be a scary process but more a relaxed discussion with a caring professional. To gather the information, we need to provide USCIS and your legal counsel, we will collect information over two (or more) one-hour sessions.

Session One: An informal interview will assess emotional strengths and weaknesses, mental functioning, and relevant family history. This tends to slightly longer than one hour.

Session Two: Your second session occurs at least a week (7-10 days in most cases) after your first session. It usually lasts approximately 45-60 minutes and consists of a second interview and the completion of diagnostic scales.

All of the information gathered during your clinical interviews will be used to create the report that we provide to your legal counsel as part of your immigration process.

  • The finished report will be professional, truthful, accurate, and thorough, typically about 12-18 pages in length. 
  • We complete evaluations in 7-10 days. Emergency or fast turnaround evaluations (48hours) are available for cases.
  • The report will also consist of a review of pertinent documents, including medical and psychiatric records where indicated, a review of personal and family history, mental status evaluation, the clinical interview, and psychometric testing. Testing helps our team assess mental and psychological distress symptoms, adding additional credibility to the assessment.
  • The evaluation details the client’s comprehensive personal history, including educational, medical, emotional, and financial stressors contributing to their desire to obtain an immigration waiver.
