Immigration Evaluations
Psychological Evaluations for Immigration Cases
If you or a loved one is navigating the U.S. immigration system, you may need a psychological evaluation to support your case. Immigration evaluations are specialized mental health assessments that can provide powerful documentation for various types of immigration relief. At Advanced Bilingual Counseling, we offer professional, compassionate, and legally-informed evaluations tailored to meet the unique needs of each case.
What Are Immigration Evaluations?
Immigration evaluations are clinical assessments written by a licensed mental health professional to help support an immigration petition or defense. These reports are used by immigration courts and attorneys to understand the psychological, emotional, and relational impact of immigration-related circumstances. An evaluation can significantly strengthen a case by providing clear, objective documentation of mental health symptoms and hardship.
Types of Immigration Cases We Support
We provide evaluations for a variety of immigration legal matters, including:
– Hardship Waivers (I-601, I-601A, I-212): Demonstrates the emotional, psychological, and practical hardship a U.S. citizen or legal resident would suffer if a loved one is deported or denied entry.
– Asylum Cases: Documents psychological symptoms resulting from persecution or trauma in the immigrant’s home country.
– VAWA Petitions: Supports survivors of domestic violence who are seeking protection and legal status under the Violence Against Women Act.
