Immigration Psychiatric Evaluations

Asylum, VAWA self-petitions, U visa and T visa applications, I-601 and I-601A extreme hardship waivers, and cancellation of removal. Each evaluation follows the legal standard of your case type.

Join from a private, quiet place with a stable video connection and set aside time without interruptions. Have your ID, your attorney's contact details and any records you already have ready: medical or therapy notes, police reports, school records or letters from family.

For asylum, U and T visas, VAWA, hardship waivers and cancellation of removal, evaluations by licensed mental health clinicians are accepted as evidence.
