Working with immigration attorneys.

You speak directly with the evaluator before and after the referral. Evaluations are available in English or Spanish, and each report is written to the standard of the filing.

Working together

What you can expect.

Direct communication

You talk directly with the evaluator, from the first call to the delivered report.

Consultation before referral

A case-specific conversation, at no charge, about what an evaluation can and cannot address.

Bilingual evaluations

Conducted directly in English or Spanish, without an interpreter in the middle.

Scheduling

Appointments are typically available within a few days.

Turnaround

Reports are generally completed within 7–10 business days of the evaluation. An expedited timeline may be possible when a deadline is close.

Testimony

Available when the case requires it, on the report as written.

The deliverable

What counsel receives.

Comprehensive reports include relevant history, clinical findings, standardized assessment when appropriate, diagnostic impressions, and a clear clinical opinion.

Part 01

Background & history

Migration history, family structure, medical and caregiving load, and what is at stake for the qualifying relative.

Part 02

Clinical findings

Mental status, symptom picture, and functional impairment, gathered across one or more sessions in the client’s own language.

Part 03

Assessment results

Standardized assessment when clinically appropriate, presented with what each measure was chosen to answer.

Part 04

Opinion & basis

Diagnostic impressions, a clear clinical opinion, the reasoning behind it, and the limits of what the evaluation can support.

Response validity, addressed when appropriate.

Response validity can be especially important in forensic and immigration evaluations. When clinically appropriate, the evaluation may include objective measures of symptoms and response validity, so the report speaks to that question directly.

Each report is written to the specific legal standard at issue in the filing.

Evaluation types

Immigration evaluations.

Discuss the case before you refer it.

The pre-referral conversation is free. If an evaluation is not indicated for the case, you should hear that first.
