Don’t face removal alone. If you or a loved one has a final order of removal or deportation, a professional psychological evaluation can provide crucial evidence of hardship and equities that may support a stay of removal (Form I-246) request.

We understand that this process can be stressful, and we are committed to offerring compassionate, professional support to help strengthen your case. Our licensed clinicians specialize in compassionate, thorough, and immigration-focused assessments tailored to your case — whether in person in Texas or via secure telehealth.

What Is an I-246 Stay of Removal?

Form I-246 is the Application for Stay of Deportation or Removal. It is an administrative request to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) asking them to temporarily halt your removal or deportation under 8 CFR § 241.6. A stay may allow you to remain in the United States while your attorney pursues other forms of relief or pending legal processes. A stay is discretionary and may be granted for a limited period

Why Choose a Psychological Evaluation for Your I-246 Request?

When ICE reviews a stay request, one of their key considerations is whether removal would cause undue hardship or whether there are compelling humanitarian, medical, or family equities that justify allowing the individual to stay. A licensed mental health professional can:

• Describe emotional, psychological, and family impacts of removal
• Document hardship factors that may not be clear from legal or social records
• Provide a USCIS/ICE-ready clinical report written specifically for immigration officers and adjudicators

We translate clinical evidence into clear, credible language that supports the narrative your attorney presents in your I-246 filing.

Who the Evaluation Is For

This evaluation is typically conducted with the person facing removal, but may involve relatives when their hardship is part of the equities considered by ICE. Your clinician will work with your attorney to determine the best focus for the assessment.

Our physical offices are located in Sugar Land and Katy, but we can conduct an evaluation anywhere in the state. In fact, many of our clients hail from Dallas, Lubbuck, San Antonio, and other far-flung parts of the state.   If you're in Texas, we've got you covered!

All of our intake and assessment forms are filled out online and our licenced therapists can easily conduct the evaluation via a HIPAA-secure telehealth platform.
