An immigration psychological evaluation is a professional mental health assessment completed by a licensed clinician to provide objective information for an immigration case. Unlike regular therapy, it is a forensic evaluation focused on explaining how a person’s trauma, mental health symptoms, and family situation may relate to the legal requirements of their case.
Research suggests that immigration cases supported by psychological evaluations may have higher approval rates than cases without them. A thorough evaluation can strengthen a case by providing professional evidence of the emotional impact, hardship, or trauma involved.
