IMMIGRATION EVALUATIONS
Immigration evaluations are crucial psychological assessments utilized in immigration cases to facilitate legal decisions regarding an individual's ability to remain in the United States.
These evaluations serve several important functions, particularly in contexts such as asylum cases, U-visas, and T-visas.
A thorough evaluation can significantly impact the outcome, making it a critical component of the immigration process.

Political Asylum
This visa supports individuals fleeing their home countries due to mistreatment or abuse stemming from their political beliefs, religious affiliations, ethnic identities, or gender. It provides a pathway for those who seek protection from persecution.
T-Visa
The T-Visa is for victims of human trafficking and their immediate family members, granting them the opportunity to stay in the U.S. if they agree to assist law enforcement in prosecuting their traffickers
Violence against Women Act (VAWA)
This visa supports undocumented individuals who have suffered abuse from a spouse who is a U.S. Citizen.
It aims to protect vulnerable individuals and facilitate their path to safety and legal status.
Hardship Waivers
U.S. citizens or residents may apply for a waiver in cases where the deportation of a family member would cause extreme hardship to themselves or their family. This process helps to ensure that families can remain together in difficult circumstances.
U-Visa
This visa is for victims of violent crimes that occur within the U.S.
It is specifically for those who have experienced mental or physical harm and are willing to cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime
Cancellation of Removal Evaluation
Cancellation of removal is a form of immigration relief that allows certain individuals facing deportation to remain in the United States. It's a discretionary form of relief, meaning that even if all eligibility requirements are met, the immigration judge ultimately decides whether to grant it. There are different types of cancellation of removal, each with specific eligibility criteria, including those for lawful permanent residents (LPRs) and non-LPRs.
