Immigration Psychological Evaluations Across The U.S.

Afresh Immigration Psychology provides professional immigration psychological evaluations for individuals and families living across more than 44 states. Immigration cases often involve complex personal histories, trauma, family separation, and significant emotional stress.

 

Psychological evaluations can help document these experiences in a clear clinical format that attorneys can include in immigration petitions.

 

Our practice works with clients in more than 44 states through secure telehealth appointments. This allows individuals to complete their immigration psychological evaluation from their home while still receiving a thorough and professional assessment.

 

We regularly work with immigration attorneys and clients in cases involving asylum, VAWA petitions, U visas, T visas, and extreme hardship waivers. Our goal is to provide detailed psychological reports that clearly document the mental health and trauma-related aspects of an immigration case.

​

Because immigration cases often involve sensitive and deeply personal experiences, we prioritize creating an evaluation process that is supportive, respectful, and culturally aware.

Our Evaluation Process

Immigration psychological evaluations at Afresh Immigration Psychology are typically completed in a single extended appointment lasting approximately two to three hours.

​

During the evaluation, we explore several areas including:

• personal history and background
• immigration history
• family relationships
• trauma exposure
• emotional and psychological functioning

 

Following the evaluation, the information gathered during the interview is organized into a structured psychological report that attorneys may use as supporting documentation in immigration proceedings.

These reports are written in a format commonly used in immigration cases so they can be easily included within legal filings.

Languages Available for Immigration Evaluations

Communication is an essential part of a thorough psychological evaluation, particularly when individuals are discussing sensitive experiences such as trauma or family hardship.

 

Afresh Immigration Psychology offers evaluations in:

• English
• Spanish
• Turkish

For other languages, interpreters can often be arranged so that clients are able to fully communicate their experiences during the evaluation process.

 

Our goal is to ensure that individuals feel comfortable sharing their story in the language that allows them to express themselves most clearly.

Working with Immigration Attorneys

Immigration attorneys often refer clients for psychological evaluations when they believe mental health documentation could strengthen a case. Our reports are written with attention to detail and organization so that attorneys can easily incorporate them into immigration petitions.

 

We regularly collaborate with attorneys and aim to produce evaluations that clearly communicate the psychological aspects of a client’s experience.
