Immigration Psychosocial Evaluations are very complex. The intake forms alone are around 20 pages long, there is extensive testing and evaluation, and the final clinical psychosocial reports range from an average of 7 - 20 pages depending on the complexity of the patient/family.

They are prepared to be scrutinized by agents of the federal government and opposing counsel in Immigration Court and/or USCIS.

They also involve hours of information gathering, clinical interviews, biopsychosocial data, medical file reviews and complex mental health assessments, scoring and explanation.

It takes years of specific post graduate education, expertise and clinical training and for the examiner to be admitted in Federal Court as an Expert Witness. A background of over 20 years in cultural psychology, languages, trauma, cultural adjustment, child assessments, and family systems psychosocial evaluations and treatment are also vital components of our specific expertise.

Ultimately, immigration psychosocial evaluations and reports take several consecutive days (when expedited by cancelling everything else in the clinician's schedule) to a few weeks to complete. In order to be affordable they are offered at a much reduced set rate instead of an hourly rate.
