Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an immigration psychological evaluation take?

The clinical interview typically takes 2-3 hours. I offer 5 turnaround options for the written report: Same-day, 24-hour, 48-hour, 1-week, and 2-week, depending on your deadline.

What should I bring to my evaluation?

Bring any relevant documents your attorney has provided, such as declarations, police reports, or medical records. Also bring a valid ID. If you have previous mental health records, those can be helpful but aren't required.

Do you offer telehealth evaluations?

Yes, I provide telehealth evaluations for clients nationwide. I'm licensed in New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and South Carolina, and can serve clients in other states through telehealth as permitted by law.

How much does an immigration psychological evaluation cost?

Fees vary based on case complexity and turnaround time. Contact me for a free case review and I'll provide a quote based on your specific situation.
