What is an immigration psychological evaluation?

An immigration psychological evaluation is a clinical assessment used to inform certain immigration legal cases. It typically includes one or more clinical interviews, standardized testing where appropriate, and a written report prepared for your attorney. The report documents the psychological factors relevant to the type of relief being pursued, whether asylum, a hardship waiver, or another category.

Do I need an attorney to schedule an immigration psychological evaluation?

In most cases, yes. Immigration evaluations are typically requested by your attorney as part of an active legal case, and the report is prepared with their guidance on what the case requires. If you don't yet have an attorney, we recommend securing one before scheduling so the evaluation can be tailored to your specific legal needs.

How long does the immigration psychological evaluation process take?

Most evaluations involve one to three sessions, depending on the type of case and the depth of testing required. After the final session, the written report is typically delivered to your attorney within two to three weeks. If there is a court deadline or other time-sensitive consideration, please share it at intake so we can plan accordingly.
