What is a Psychological Evaluation for Immigration-Related Cases?

Psychological Evaluations for Immigration-Related cases are typically sought out by attorneys looking to strengthen their client’s court case. I’m trained to address cases involving T-VISAS, VAWA, Asylum, U-VISA, and Hardship.

A psychological evaluation is used in court-related cases to identify the emotional impact that the court findings may have on a client. In immigration cases, this means identifying the impact of potential deportation or other related outcomes, while considering the client’s circumstances, history of trauma, and emotional and psychological symptoms. This can help the court take a holistic approach and determine a case outcome.

The fee for this evaluation is $1200. Sliding scale available on a case by case basis. This includes 3 hours of face-to-face meetings (either virtual or in-person) between the client and the evaluator, collaboration between the evaluator and attorney, phone calls to other relevant parties, psychological testing, and completion of the evaluation in a timely manner. Court appearances, if required, are subject to additional fees.
