What to expect

An immigration psychological evaluation is a clinical interview that documents how the abuse you experienced has affected your emotional and mental health. The report can support a VAWA, U-Visa, T-Visa, or asylum application.

  • Confidential and judgment-free — your story is yours to tell
  • We go at your pace and in your words
  • A thorough, professional report written to support your case
  • You can ask questions any time; nothing is forced

Types of evaluations we provide

Each case is unique. Here's a plain-language look at the common categories.

VAWA

For survivors of abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member, seeking to self-petition for immigration relief.

U-Visa

For victims of certain crimes who have cooperated with law enforcement and seek temporary immigration status.

T-Visa

For victims of human trafficking who have helped (or are willing to help) in the investigation or prosecution of trafficking.

Asylum

For individuals fleeing persecution who need psychological documentation of the impact of past trauma on their well-being.

Not sure which category applies? That's what we're here to help figure out — no question is too basic, and nothing you ask will be held against you.
