WHEN A PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT IS AN IMPORTANT EVIDENCE FOR YOUR IMMIGRATION PROCESS
A psychological evaluation can help identify any psychological, emotional, or social issues that a person may be facing. A psychological evaluation can be used to determine a person’s eligibility for immigration purposes. It can help you obtain your documents and legally remain in the United States.
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) allows men or women who have been abused by a spouse or child who is a U.S. citizen or resident to remain in the country without having to stay in the marriage or involved in the family relationship. In this case, a psychological evaluation can help establish the psychological impact of spousal or family abuse, making them eligible for immigration benefits under VAWA.
U Visa: if someone is a victim of a serious crime while in the United States, they may be eligible for a U visa. In this case, the person who suffered the crime must demonstrate that they suffered substantial mental or physical abuse and assist the police in the prosecution of the person who committed the crime. A psychological evaluation can show the effects of the crime on the individual’s mental health.
T Visa: if someone is a victim of human trafficking, they may be eligible for a T visa if they can demonstrate that deportation would cause unusual or severe harm. A psychological evaluation can show the mental health consequences of abuse.
The evaluation can help diagnose any underlying mental health conditions. In many cases, a psychological evaluation will add a lot of value to your immigration case and help demonstrate your eligibility. If you are seeking a visa through these means, it is a good idea to undergo a psychological evaluation to help clarify your case.
