What Is an Immigration Psychological Evaluation?

​

An immigration psychological evaluation is a professional mental health assessment that may assist immigration attorneys and courts in understanding the psychological effects of trauma, persecution, domestic violence, or family separation.

These evaluations may provide clinical documentation of mental health symptoms that are relevant to immigration legal cases.

Each evaluation includes:

• clinical interview
• psychological screening instruments when appropriate
• review of relevant records
• written evaluation report prepared for immigration legal proceedings
