Immigration Evaluations
Psychological evaluations strengthen an immigration case by providing mental health assessments to document PTSD or other symptoms. These evaluations help to tell an immigrant's story, and to document the "invisible scars" of traumatic experiences.
Significant research has been conducted on the effectiveness of immigration evaluations and how they can strengthen a legal case. In a 2022 article "The Critical Role of Psychological Evaluations for Asylum Seekers" by Latina Republic, author Adriana Pérez states, "According to a 2008 study published in the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, asylum cases with psychological evaluations were 89% successful, contrasting the 37.5% national average without one."
