Immigration evaluations are used in immigration cases to help the court determine whether a person can lawfully stay in the United States. They include a comprehensive psychological evaluation as well as recommendations related to the petitioner’s mental wellness. Immigration evaluations can provide evidence of trauma and describe the hardship that would be experienced if a family member were to be deported.
The emotional component of trauma and stress requires a specific type of evaluation. According to a 2008 study published in the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, asylum cases with psychological evaluations were 89% successful contrasting the 37.5% national average without one.
