Immigration mental health evaluations provide concrete, expert-backed evidence of the emotional and psychological distress that would result from deportation or separation. We are proud to provide this life altering service to those in need.
ELIGIBLE PROCEEDINGS
Extreme and Exceptional Hardship/Waivers (I-601) - The applicant must demonstrate that the denial of their visa or adjustment of status would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to their qualifying US citizen or lawful permanent resident family member.
Spousal Abuse - Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) - Provides protection and a path to independent legal status for foreign nationals who are victims of physical or emotional abuse by their US citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse.
Political Asylum - A form of humanitarian relief that provides protection and a path to legal status for individuals who have faced or have a credible fear of facing severe persecution in their home country based on political opinions, activities, or affiliation. These applicants are fleeing life-threatening situations and violations of their fundamental rights.
U-Visas - A form of humanitarian relief that provides protection and a path to legal status for individuals who have been victims of specific crimes (human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault, etc) and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the investigation and prosecution of those crimes. Returning to their home country may create further victimization.
Bottom Line: We recognize that this evaluation can be the make-or-break moment when it comes to keeping a family together or saving someone from life-threatening situations.
