When applying for U Visas, psychological evaluations are used to assist in documenting the substantial physical or mental abuse as a result of having been the victim of a serious crime. The U Visa psychological evaluation assesses the client’s mental state and assesses the mental health consequences resulting from exposure to the crime.
