Psychological testing — not just a clinical interview.
Many providers offering immigration evaluations are licensed counselors or social workers whose reports are based on a clinical interview and narrative summary alone. Only licensed psychologists are trained and credentialed to independently administer and interpret standardized psychological tests — a methodologically different product.
My evaluations include validated psychological instruments, scored and interpreted at the doctoral level — producing objective, empirical data that supports every clinical finding, not clinical impression alone.
- §
Objective, empirical data
Findings are grounded in normative test results, not clinical impression alone. Your client's psychological functioning is measured against standardized populations.
- §
More defensible under scrutiny
Tested evaluations are significantly harder for USCIS adjudicators or opposing counsel to dismiss. The methodology is transparent and replicable.
- §
Forensic standards throughout
Reports are written for legal submission — organized, precise, and careful to distinguish clinical findings from legal conclusions.
