About immigration evaluations
WHAT ARE IMMIGRATION EVALUATIONS?
If you live in Colorado and are going through immigration proceedings, you can contact me and request to have an immigration evaluation, or if your attorney encourages you to get one, please contact me. The evaluation will help your attorney and the court get a better picture of who you are and what you have overcome.
IMMIGRATION EVALUATIONS TYPES
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT (VAWA) -SPOUSAL ABUSE (Note- VAWA applications are available for any gender)
If you experience domestic violence from your U.S. citizen spouse, you may reach out and ask for an evaluation to assess the psychological impact this has had on you, under VAWA (Violence Against Women Act Immigration Petitions). This ACT allows both women and men who have been physically, sexually and/or mentally abused by their U.S. citizen spouse to be protected from such abuse.
* The fee for this evaluation is $1500
HARDSHIP EVALUATIONS
If you are facing deportation and you have a spouse, children, or parents who are U.S. citizens, they can apply for an immigration waiver on your behalf because the deportation will cause extreme hardship to the family you will be leaving behind. When they do that, you can reach out and request for an Extreme Hardship Evaluation that falls under the Extreme Hardship Immigration Petitions. Your attorney will let you know what is considered extreme hardships.
* The fee for this evaluation is $1500
U-VISAS
You can also reach out to me for an immigration psychological evaluation when applying for a U-Visa if you are undocumented in the U.S and have experienced substantial physical or mental abuse or have been a victim of a crime by a U.S. citizen and you helped the police with the investigation and prosecution of that person.
* The fee for this evaluation is $1500
T-VISAS
You can also reach out to me if you are applying for a T-visa because you have been a victim of human trafficking and need a psychological evaluation to demonstrate the severe impact this has had on you and the severe impact it will have on you if you are deported.
* The fee for this evaluation is $1500
POLITICAL ASYLUM
I can also provide a psychological evaluation for people seeking political asylum from their countries of origin to demonstrate how the abuse or persecution in the country of origin extremely impacted them and how this abuse can impact them in the future if deported back.
* The fee for this evaluation is $1500
N-648
I can also provide a psychological evaluation for people who are applying to become U.S. citizens and need to request an exemption from taking the English test. I assess for mental health conditions that have lasted or are expected to last 12 months or more and impair the person's ability to take the citizenship exam.
* The fee for this evaluation is $1100

Being an immigrant myself, I understand first hand what it is like to go through the immigration system. I also have extensive experience with immigrants from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
