Immigration Psychological Evaluation

Immigration journeys can be stressful, causing anxiety, worry, and stress on family relationships & finances. We provide immigration evaluations & counseling for individuals and families in Texas who are navigating the immigration process.

WiseWell Therapy provides professional immigration psychological evaluations with one of our highly qualified mental health professionals. Our evaluations can dramatically improve your legal case for asylum in the U.S. We collaborate with your immigration attorney to ensure that we understand the specifics of your petition and the details relevant to your case.

What is an immigration psychological evaluation?

An immigration psychological evaluation is a professional assessment of the mental health and capability of an individual seeking to immigrate to the U.S. It is used to help immigration courts decide if a person should remain in the United States. The evaluation documents mental health conditions as well as how deportation would affect the individual and his or her family.

Why do I need an immigration evaluation?

Psychological evaluations are usually required for hardship waiver, U-Visa, VAWA, and asylum cases. Your immigration attorney will refer you (and maybe your whole family) for an evaluation as needed.

The benefits of an immigration evaluation are huge. In general, only about 30 to 35% of asylum cases are approved, but cases that include an immigration evaluation have an almost 90% approval rate. Perhaps the best step you can take in seeking asylum in the U.S. is to have an evaluation.

What is the evaluation like? 

An immigration evaluation is a simple conversation between you, your family, and a WiseWell Therapy counselor. You will talk with your counselor for several hours split between two different meetings.

Some topics we might cover include:

• Past trauma or difficulties
• Any previous mental health diagnoses
• Your current situation
• Your plans for the future
• Your support system in the U.S.

We will also discuss any details that are relevant to your case, according to your attorney.

Please know that questions asked in the evaluation are not a test, and we strive to keep them casual and comfortable. WiseWell Therapy’s goal is always to provide safe, nonjudgmental space for you to discuss the unique circumstances of your life and restore hope. The same is true in immigration evaluations.

We can meet with you online, across the state of Texas.

How much does an immigration evaluation cost in Texas?

Our fee for Immigration Psychological Evaluations is $950 USD. This includes the time you meet with your mental health provider and the time it takes to write a lengthy, thorough, and effective report that is provided to your attorney to support your case in court.

Do you offer counseling services for immigrants?

Absolutely! We understand that the journey to the U.S. can be extremely difficult, and the immigration process is often daunting. WiseWell Therapy is committed to help people find hope and healing, so we offer counseling for adults and teens who are feeling the burden of anxiety, depression, or strained relationships.
