IMMIGRATION PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS
Your Story Deserves Care in an Immigration Psychological Evaluation.
A psychological evaluation is often a vital component of an immigration case. It provides an objective, professional assessment of the mental health impact of your experiences, helping to illustrate the human story behind the legal documentation.
At Soma Lotus, we provide specialized, trauma-informed evaluations for individuals navigating various immigration processes. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where your experience is heard with dignity and documented with clinical precision.

TYPES OF EVALUATIONS
Psychological Evaluations for Immigration Matters.
We offer specialized clinical assessments that serve as a critical bridge between your personal history and the legal requirements of your immigration case. Our evaluations are professional, thorough, and conducted with the highest degree of cultural sensitivity.
Asylum Evaluations
Focuses on documenting the psychological impact of past persecution or the functional impact of the well-founded fear of future persecution if returned to the home country.
Extreme Hardship Evaluations
Documents the extreme psychological, emotional, and practical hardship a qualifying U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident would face if a family member is not allowed to remain in the U.S.
VAWA Evaluations
Supports individuals who have experienced domestic abuse by a U.S. citizen or resident family member, documenting the clinical impact of the abuse.
T & U Visa Evaluations
For victims of human trafficking (T) or victims of serious crimes (U) who have suffered substantial mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement.
The appropriate evaluation depends entirely on your unique circumstances and the specific legal matter you are navigating. Your immigration attorney can help determine the necessary documentation for your case.

$1,300 Evaluation Fee
The comprehensive evaluation fee includes the clinical interview, assessments, and the final written report. Expedited service may be available for an additional fee when capacity permits.
3–4 WEEKS Typical Turnaround
The final report is typically completed within three to four weeks of the final interview session. This timeline is estimated for clinical documentation and is not a guaranteed legal deadline.
VIRTUAL + IN PERSON Appointment Options

The Evaluation Supports the Legal Process. It Does Not Determine the Outcome.
BEFORE SCHEDULING
The psychological evaluation is an independent clinical assessment. While it provides critical documentation for many immigration cases, scheduling an evaluation does not guarantee a specific result or legal outcome.
Soma Lotus provides clinical evaluations, not legal representation. We strongly recommend working with a qualified immigration attorney who can advise you on the legal strategy of your specific case.
Information shared during the evaluation is not protected by the same level of confidentiality as traditional therapy. The findings will be documented in a report intended for submission to legal authorities.
If significant clinical concerns or risks are identified during our process, I will provide appropriate resources and referrals for ongoing support beyond the scope of this evaluation.
