Immigration Psychological Evaluations

Immigration Psychological Evaluations With Compassion and Clinical Expertise

Facing an immigration process can be overwhelming. Whether you're applying for asylum, a hardship waiver, or protection under VAWA, having a strong psychological evaluation can be a vital part of your case.

I specialize in writing detailed, trauma-informed immigration evaluations that provide clear, compelling documentation for attorneys and immigration courts. These reports reflect not just what you've experienced—but how it’s affected your mental health and well-being.

Types of Immigration Evaluations I Provide

If you're not sure which evaluation you need, I recommend consulting with an immigration attorney before reaching out—I’m happy to collaborate directly with them throughout the process.

Hardship Waivers

Demonstrating the emotional, psychological, and medical consequences that would result from separation or deportation.

For survivors of domestic violence seeking protection and legal residency.

VAWA Evaluations

Documenting the emotional and psychological impact of trauma, persecution, or fear of return.

For individuals who have been trafficked and are pursuing freedom and legal status.

For survivors of qualifying crimes, supporting applications based on cooperation with law enforcement.

U Visa Evaluations

Asylum Evaluations

T Visa Evaluations

Virtual Evaluations

All evaluations are conducted virtually for your comfort and privacy. You’ll need a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. If needed, I can work with a professional interpreter in your preferred language (clients are responsible for interpreter fees; I can help you find one).

What to Expect

• Free Consultation – We’ll discuss your situation, your timeline, and whether I’m the right fit for your case.

• Pre-Session Assessments – You’ll receive a short packet of forms before we meet to streamline the process.

• Evaluation Interviews – We’ll meet for about 3 hours, typically split into two 90-minute sessions. I’ll gather your personal, medical, family, and psychological history, as well as details relevant to your legal petition.

• Your Written Report – After the sessions, I’ll write a clear, professionally structured evaluation designed to support your case. The final report will be sent to your attorney.

Turnaround Time

• Standard turnaround: 3–4 weeks after completion of sessions

• Expedited reports (rush delivery): Available for an additional fee. This includes weekend or evening work and rescheduling other clients to prioritize your case.

Evaluation Fees

• Standard evaluations range from $1,200–$1,500 depending on case complexity

• Expedited evaluations incur additional fees

• The first $1,000 is due before your first session
