In Arkansas, where approximately 180,000 immigrants live, immigration cases may involve different federal agencies and proceedings. Immigration evaluations provide an objective assessment of an individual’s mental health, emotional functioning, and psychological conditions relevant to an immigration case.
Immigration Psychology provides independent immigration psychological evaluations throughout Arkansas. Through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth services, our licensed psychologists make these evaluations accessible to eligible individuals across the state.
Our Services
Asylum Evaluations
For asylum applicants in Arkansas, documenting psychological conditions associated with reported persecution may provide relevant clinical evidence. Our asylum evaluation examines trauma histories, current symptoms, and emotional functioning. Clinical findings can help explain the psychological effects of reported experiences without independently determining whether persecution occurred or whether an applicant qualifies for asylum.
Citizenship Examination Waiver
Certain medical conditions can interfere with an individual's ability to fulfill naturalization testing requirements. Our citizenship examination waiver assessments examine cognitive functioning, memory, and learning difficulties. When appropriate, an authorized clinical psychologist may complete USCIS Form N-648 to document a qualifying disability or impairment affecting the English or civics requirements.
Competency To Participate
Immigration proceedings require participants to understand and meaningfully engage in their cases. When an individual's mental condition raises questions about these abilities, our competency evaluations examine the applicable standards established in Matter of M-A-M-. Findings may inform an immigration judge's determination regarding competency and appropriate procedural safeguards.
Dangerousness Evaluations
When public safety concerns arise during immigration custody proceedings, psychological findings may be relevant. Our dangerousness evaluations examine clinically relevant risk factors, behavioral history, and available records. Evaluators use structured assessment methods to develop independent findings rather than presume that an individual presents a particular level of risk.
Hardship Waivers
Family circumstances can become relevant when immigration proceedings involve separation or relocation. Our hardship evaluations examine the emotional, psychological, and functional consequences that qualifying relatives in Arkansas may experience. Assessments consider documented mental health conditions, family relationships, and other circumstances relevant to the applicable hardship standard.
Immigration Bond Hearing
Certain individuals in immigration detention may request bond redetermination hearings. For an eligible immigration bond hearing, psychological assessments can document mental health history, behavioral functioning, and clinically relevant risk factors. Our independent findings provide information for consideration alongside other evidence presented during custody proceedings.
Same Sex Couples Hardship
Hardship assessments involving same-sex couples follow the applicable immigration requirements for qualifying relationships. Our same-sex couples hardship evaluations examine the potential psychological consequences of separation or relocation. Relevant considerations may include mental health conditions, relationship circumstances, and the individual's ability to function under either scenario.
T Visa
Human trafficking remains a documented concern in Arkansas. In 2025, the National Human Trafficking Hotline identified 63 reported trafficking cases involving 106 potential victims in the state. These figures do not establish immigration status or T-visa eligibility.
Our T-visa evaluation assesses the psychological effects of reported trafficking experiences, including trauma-related symptoms and their impact on everyday functioning.
Our T-visa evaluation assesses the psychological effects of reported trafficking experiences, including trauma-related symptoms and their impact on everyday functioning.
U Visa Psychological Evaluations
Individuals who experience qualifying criminal activity may sustain psychological injuries that require clinical documentation. Our U-Visa evaluation examines the reported incident, resulting mental health symptoms, and their severity and duration. The assessment provides an independent clinical perspective without determining eligibility for immigration benefits.
VAWA
Psychological assessments may also be relevant to immigration petitions involving domestic abuse. Our VAWA evaluations examine reported experiences of abuse and document associated emotional, behavioral, and psychological conditions. Clinical interviews and appropriate testing help establish the nature and extent of identified psychological effects.
