Immigration Psychological Evaluations

I am now providing psychological evaluations for immigrants seeking legal citizenship in the United States and their family members. My evaluations are comprehensive and well-written, in order to best support your case and your path towards citizenship. Interpreting services available upon request. I provide evaluations to clients located in California, Virginia, Washington DC, and Washington state. Contact me today to set up your evaluation!

Different Cases I Support:

  • Silhouettes of four young people holding hands during sunset by the water

    Extreme Hardship Waivers

    Hardship waivers may be granted if the removal of an undocumented immigrant would cause “extreme hardship” to a family member who is a US citizen. An evaluation may demonstrate the psychological impact if you are to be separated long-term from a family member, or if you were to relocate with your family member to their country of origin.

  • Person standing with arms outstretched on a wooden railing in a field with mountain range in the background.

    Asylum Cases

    Psychological evaluations can be helpful to individuals seeking asylum in the United States due to having suffered persecution or well-founded fear of persecution in your country of origin. An evaluation documents the psychological evidence that returning to your country of origin could contribute to persecution or continued distress.

  • Sunset shining through tall trees in a dense green forest.

    VAWA Cases

    The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides a pathway to victims of domestic abuse of all genders self-petition for legal citizenship. A psychological evaluation can assess for the signs of domestic violence, as well as the evidence of power and control in an abusive relationship, that might be pertinent for your case.

  • A white SUV with a roof box parked on a barren landscape with rocky ground and mountains in the background under a clear blue sky.

    U-Visas & T-Visas

    A U/T Visa allows an undocumented immigrant to self-petition for legal status if they are a victim of a crime that occurred in the US. A T-Visa is specific to victims of human trafficking. A psychological evaluation can be a critical component in these cases, as they help establish the impact of mental and emotional abuse you experienced as a result of this crime.
