$1100 Psychological Evaluation and Report

The Psychological Evaluation is conducted via video, by Kori R. Lee who is a Licensed Professional Counselor and in The State of Georgia. Having received formal training in Conducting Hardship Waiver Evaluations, Kori has over 5 years of experience with Immigration Evaluations.

The entire process takes approximately 3-5 weeks unless delayed by unforeseen circumstances, the client, or their attorney’s scheduling availability. Upon initial contact, the client will be screened by Kori to ensure the evaluation is able to be conducted and to answer or discuss any questions or concerns. The client will then be scheduled for their first appointment and asked to complete appropriate mental health self assessments online, prior to their first meeting with Kori. Kori then reviews and interprets the client’s self-assessments, followed by conducting the clinical interviews with the client.  As needed, Kori will meet with any relevant family members. When available, Kori may request to review client records. She then formulates a diagnostic impression, and develops treatment recommendations. Kori will create a detailed report which that is about 10-12 pages long and provide the attorney with a draft for review and consultation. Once finalized, the written report, will be delivered electronically in a PDF form with a digital certificate-based signature to the attorney and client.

Psychological Immigration Services are not always easy to locate. We can assist in the evaluation and diagnostic process needed for/associated with various immigration statuses.

Areas of focus:

  • U-VISA: Immigration status for victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.

  • T-VISA: A temporary immigration benefit that enables certain victims of a severe form of human trafficking to remain in the United States for up to 4 years if they have assisted law enforcement in an investigation or prosecution of Sex Trafficking or Labor Trafficking.

  • Asylum: Refugee status or asylum may be granted to people who have been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted because of race, religion, nationality, and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion

  • Extreme Hardship: Analyzing specific circumstances that may strengthen the case of the family or individual, ranging from health issues, financial considerations, education/opportunity loss, and personal and other social factors.

  • VAWA: Under the federal Violence Against Women Act, you may be eligible to become a lawful permanent resident (get a Green Card) if you are the victim of battery or extreme cruelty committed by a U.S. citizen close to you.

  • Substantiation of Good Faith Marriage: An evaluation process is needed for Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, in which a conditional permanent resident must document their good faith marriage. With proper evidence, we can help prove that your marriage was genuine and not created to circumvent immigration laws.
