What you will get

Purpose of Immigration Evaluations

To provide objective and professional documentation of psychological or emotional factors that support an individual’s immigration case.
To explain how the individual’s experiences align with legal requirements for specific immigration relief.
To offer insight into the individual's mental health history, current functioning, and future implications.

Components of the Evaluation

Clinical Interview

Psychological Screening (if applicable)
- Standardized Screening tools to provide additional support for clinical findings.
- Completion of all paperwork given.
Collateral Information
- Input from family members, medical records, or other documentation to corroborate claims.

This fee accounts for the extra time and effort required to gather and document this information.
Comprehensive Report
- A written document summarizing findings and their relevance to the immigration case.
- Darlene will have this written report to you 3 weeks after the last Clinical interview needed.
