Immigration Mental Health Evaluations
I offer mental health 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. I provide evaluations for clients located in California, Virginia, Washington DC, Michigan, Arizona, and Washington State. Contact me today to set up your evaluation.
Different Cases I Support:
-

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.
-

Asylum Cases
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.
-

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 mental health 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.
-

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. An 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.
