Frequently asked Questions

1- What is an immigration psychological evaluation?

An immigration psychological evaluation is a clinical assessment that documents the emotional and psychological impact of an individual’s circumstances as part of an immigration case.

These evaluations are often used in cases such as hardship waivers, VAWA, U Visa, asylum, and other immigration-related legal matters. The purpose is to provide a clear, professional report that can be submitted to USCIS or immigration court.
