01
Extreme or Exceptional Hardship
In these cases, a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident has a close family member — such as a spouse, parent, or child — who could be deported.
The purpose of the psychological evaluation is to describe how difficult life would be for the family if that person were forced to leave the country.
The evaluation helps show the emotional, psychological, and practical challenges that would affect everyone involved, and it can make the immigration waiver request stronger.
02
Spousal Abuse (VAWA – Violence Against Women Act)
VAWA allows individuals who have suffered abuse from a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse to apply for legal status independently, without their abuser’s involvement. A psychological evaluation helps document the emotional impact of this abuse, giving a clear and professional description of how it has affected the victim. This report supports the person’s path to safety, healing, and legal independence in their immigration case.
03
U Visa
The U Visa is for people who have been victims of serious crimes in the United States — such as assault, domestic violence, sexual abuse, trafficking, or kidnapping — and who have helped or are willing to help law enforcement.
The psychological evaluation helps show the emotional, mental, or physical effects of what happened.
This information helps immigration officials understand the lasting impact of the crime and supports the person’s request for legal status.
04
Asylum
People who apply for asylum usually fled their home countries because of violence, persecution, or fear for their safety — often due to political, religious, or cultural reasons.
A psychological evaluation gives them a safe space to share what they experienced and helps explain the emotional impact of that trauma.
This report helps immigration authorities understand how those past experiences continue to affect the person’s mental health and why returning to their home country would not be safe.
07
T Visa
The T Visa offers legal protection to individuals who were victims of human trafficking in the United States, including those forced or deceived into labor or sexual exploitation. Applicants must show they were trafficked and are helping or willing to help law enforcement. A psychological evaluation provides crucial documentation of the emotional and mental effects of the trauma, helping immigration officials understand the impact of the experience and supporting the applicant’s path toward safety, recovery, and legal status.
05
Citizenship Disability Waiver (Form N-648)
Some people who want to become U.S. citizens cannot take the English or civics test because of a serious medical or mental health condition.
A licensed professional can complete Form N-648, which documents these challenges and explains why the person cannot meet those testing requirements.
The evaluation must show clear medical or psychological evidence — not just age or lack of education — that affects learning or memory in a significant way.
08
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status protects children and youth under 21 who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents. It allows them to apply for legal residency in the United States when returning home would be unsafe or not in their best interest. A psychological evaluation helps explain the emotional impact of the child’s experiences, offering valuable professional evidence to support their need for stability, care, and a secure future in the U.S.
06
Cancellation of Removal
It is a legal process that lets certain immigrants facing deportation request permission to stay in the United States. To qualify, they must show they’ve lived here for several years, have good moral character, and that their deportation would cause extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or resident family member. A psychological evaluation supports this process by showing the emotional and mental impact that separation would have, helping strengthen the case before the immigration court.
09
Unlawful Presence (I-601 / I-601A)
The I-601 or I-601A waiver is for immigrants who may be denied entry or legal status due to misrepresentation or unlawful presence in the United States. A psychological evaluation supports this process by showing the emotional and mental hardship that a U.S. citizen or lawful resident family member would face if the waiver were denied. This professional report helps immigration officers understand the human impact of separation and strengthens the applicant’s request for relief.
