Asylum evaluations

03
U visa evaluations
Evaluations documenting the psychological harm suffered by victims of qualifying crimes, written to support the substantial-harm element of a U visa petition.

Assessments of the hardship a qualifying relative would face, examined clinically rather than asserted.

The standards behind the findings
The findings are impartial rather than shaped toward a desired conclusion, and every report is written for review by USCIS, immigration courts and counsel.
Evaluations are conducted nationwide over secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
Payment plans are available, so the cost of an evaluation is not what stops a petition from being properly supported.
Questions people arrive with
Do you conduct evaluations in Spanish?
Yes. Most of the people we work with are Spanish-speaking immigrant families, and we meet them in their own language. Interpreter access is available when another language is needed.
