Top Quality Evaluations for Immigration in NY and NJ
A psychosocial immigration evaluation is a detailed assessment conducted by a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) to document psychological, emotional, and social factors that may impact your immigration case. It is used to support various legal cases, such as hardship waivers, asylum, VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) cases, and more.
The process typically involves one or more sessions where the clinician will ask detailed questions about your personal, family, emotional, and mental health history. You may also need to discuss your immigration background, hardships you've faced, and how your life has been affected by your current immigration status.
