What Is an Immigration Psychological Evaluation?
At ACM, LLC, we provide immigration mental health evaluations that are thorough, evidence-based assessment tailored to the specific requirements of your case. We take time to understand your personal history, experiences, and current circumstances through an in-depth clinical interview, a review of relevant background information, and, when appropriate, standardized assessments. Most evaluations take about two hours, with additional time dedicated to preparing a professional, detailed report that accurately reflects your situation.
Our evaluations are designed to meet USCIS evidentiary standards, ensuring they are thorough, credible, and professionally prepared for submission. Below are the key types of evaluations we offer:
VAWA Self-Petitioner Evaluations: For individuals who have experienced abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child. These evaluations assess the psychological and emotional impact of the abuse, documenting its effects on daily functioning and mental health.
U Visa Evaluations: For victims of qualifying crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity (such as abduction, blackmail, murder, stalking).
Our evaluations document the psychological impact of the crime and the applicant's cooperation with law enforcement.
Extreme Hardship Waiver Evaluations (I-601/I-601A): For individuals seeking to waive certain grounds of inadmissibility due to extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent. These evaluations assess the emotional, psychological, and financial impact of separation or relocation on the qualifying relative.
