Immigration

Psychological immigration evaluations document emotional, behavioral, and psychological factors that may be relevant in immigration proceedings. These evaluations are often used in cases such as hardship waivers, asylum, VAWA, U‑visas, and other petitions.

Reasons for Evaluation

Evaluations can support a variety of immigration cases, including:

  • Hardship waivers (I‑601, I‑601A)

  • VAWA petitions for victims of abuse

  • U‑visa and T‑visa applications for crime or trafficking victims

  • Asylum or withholding of removal cases

  • Naturalization waivers (e.g., N‑648)

What Is Involved?

Can include any/all of the following:

  • A conversation to understand your personal history, experiences, and mental health

  • Questions about trauma, stress, and emotional well-being

  • Standardized assessments to measure symptoms like anxiety, depression, or PTSD

  • Evaluation of daily functioning, coping skills, and resilience

  • Optional interviews with family members if relevant to the case
