Immigration psychological evaluations provide objective clinical information relevant to immigration proceedings. These assessments review an individual’s psychological, emotional, and social history through interviews and, when appropriate, testing, producing reports that guide decision-makers to understand case-related factors.
In Nevada, Immigration Psychology offers independent evaluations via secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth and in-person appointments when available. As trained clinical psychologists, we use evidence-based methods to deliver impartial, objective assessments without advocating for either side, focusing solely on psychological issues relevant to immigration matters.
Our Services
Asylum Evaluations
Individuals seeking asylum may have experienced persecution, violence, threats, or other traumatic events in their country of origin. An asylum evaluation documents psychological symptoms that may be associated with those experiences, including anxiety, depression, or trauma-related conditions. For individuals with cases connected to the Las Vegas Immigration Court, an objective evaluation may provide clinically relevant information regarding the psychological impact of past events.
Citizenship Examination Waiver
Some lawful permanent residents seeking U.S. citizenship in Nevada may qualify for a medical waiver of the English and civics examination requirements due to certain cognitive, intellectual, or psychological conditions. Evaluations for citizenship examination waiver assess the presence and severity of qualifying conditions and document how those conditions may affect an individual's ability to complete citizenship testing requirements.
Competency To Participate
Competency evaluations examine whether an individual possesses the psychological and cognitive abilities necessary to understand immigration proceedings and participate meaningfully in the process. These assessments may be relevant when significant mental health conditions, developmental disabilities, or cognitive impairments raise concerns regarding participation in immigration-related matters.
A psychological evaluation to assess competency to participate in the proceedings may include recommendations for safeguards given the mental health or developmental issues the person is presenting. The immigration court decides the ultimate issue of competency but the psychological evaluation may provide insight into mental health related matters.

Dangerousness Evaluations
Dangerousness evaluations assess factors associated with the risk of future harmful behavior. These evaluations involve a review of psychological history, behavioral patterns, clinical findings, and other relevant information. The goal is to provide an objective assessment based on available evidence rather than assumptions or speculation.
Hardship Waivers
Hardship evaluations examine the potential psychological impact that separation, relocation, or other immigration-related circumstances may have on qualifying family members. These evaluations document mental health conditions, family dynamics, and other factors that may be relevant when assessing psychological hardship.
Immigration Bond Hearing
Evaluations for immigration bond hearings may provide information regarding mental health concerns, treatment history, psychological functioning, and factors related to community adjustment. For individuals appearing before immigration authorities in Nevada, these evaluations focus on objective clinical findings that may assist in understanding psychological circumstances relevant to bond proceedings.
Same Sex Couples Hardship
Same-sex couples may encounter unique personal, family, or cultural circumstances that affect immigration-related hardship considerations. These evaluations assess psychological factors associated with separation, relocation, family relationships, and emotional functioning while maintaining a neutral and evidence-based approach.
T Visa
T-Visas are available to certain individuals who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking. A T-Visa evaluation examines the psychological effects that trafficking-related experiences may have had on an individual’s mental health and overall functioning. Evaluations may document symptoms associated with trauma, anxiety, depression, or other psychological conditions when supported by clinical findings.
U Visa Psychological Evaluations
U-Visas are intended for certain victims of qualifying criminal activity who have experienced substantial physical or psychological harm. A U-Visa evaluation assesses the emotional and psychological effects of the reported events and documents relevant findings through clinical interviews and evidence-based assessment methods.
VAWA
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) evaluations examine the psychological effects of abuse that may have occurred within qualifying family relationships. These evaluations document emotional, behavioral, and psychological consequences associated with the reported experiences and provide objective clinical findings relevant to the immigration process.
