Immigration Evaluations

Our psychologists are experienced in providing immigration evaluations tailored to meet the standards required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We offer professional, culturally aware assessments for a range of immigration cases, including:

  • Extreme Hardship Waivers: A Hardship Waiver evaluation helps prove that a U.S. citizen or permanent resident would experience severe emotional hardship if their family member is deported. Our evaluations include clear, evidence-based reports to demonstrate the effects of separation, financial loss, or health-related issues.

  • Cancellation of Removal: Cancellation of Removal is a form of relief from deportation. It allows certain immigrants to remain in the U.S. and potentially adjust their status to lawful permanent resident (LPR) if they meet certain qualifications.

  • Disability Exceptions: Disability Exception allows certain immigrants with qualifying disabilities to be exempt from the English and Civics requirements for naturalization (citizenship) in the U.S.

  • Asylum Applications: For asylum seekers, an evaluation provides evidence of the psychological impact of past trauma or persecution. These evaluations support asylum applications with documentation of PTSD, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms.

  • VAWA Petitions: For survivors of domestic violence, VAWA allows certain individuals to petition for immigration status without their abuser's assistance. Our VAWA evaluations document the psychological effects of abuse, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

  • U Visa and T Visa Cases: U-Visas are available for victims of certain crimes and T-Visa evaluation is critical for victims of human trafficking seeking protection and immigration relief. Our evaluations demonstrate the lasting psychological impact of victimization, which can be critical for U-Visa or T-Visa approval.

Every evaluation is conducted with care, confidentiality, and a commitment to ensuring your story is accurately represented.
