Frequently Asked Questions:

How can I send client case information to you securely?

That's exactly what this Referral Portal is for. You can upload all USCIS documents, affidavits, or other information pertinent to the case safely and securely as our portal is 100% HIPAA-secure.

The important thing is to ensure you have the clients permission to send the data. During our intake process, we ask the client to sign a Release so we can talk to you about their evaluation.

What is the cost of the evaluation and report?

We offer one price for the evaluation and letter--the cost is $850. This includes up to a 90-minute assessment with a licensed therapist and writing the report for the USCIS or the adjudication court.

If the client needs the evaluation conducted in another language, there may be an additional fee of $150. This is for situations where a bilingual therapist is unavailable and an interpreter will be required.

NOTE: We do offer volume-based discounts for multiple referrals. The evaluation cost includes one attorney consultation before and one after the evaluation, as needed, to ensure our report is helpful to your client's case. We want to be a true partner with you to help the client.

How quickly can my client get an appointment?

We will schedule your client's evaluation as soon as we get a request. We ask that they fill out some paperwork prior to the appointment so the therapist can adequately prepare for the evaluation.

In some cases, we can have a therapist available to talk to them the same day they complete the intake forms.

Otherwise, appointments are generally schedule to occur within one, two or three days depending on the client's availability for the appointment.

How long does it take to receive the report?

We guarantee to have the letters complete and sent to your clients within 7 business days. Depending on our currently caseload, we may be able to have it ready sooner.

We can always expedite delivery to within 48 hours for an added fee.

Do you have sample client reports that you can share?

Absolutely. We have redacted copies of I-601A, U-Visa, and VAWA evaluations, with all client PHI redacted, stored on a shared drive that you can access.

Can your practice handle a high volume of evaluations if needed?

We have dedicated staff for immigration evaluations. They typically also see a number of regular psychotherapy clients weekly.

When the workload gets busy, we contract out our immigration work to a handful of trained and trusted therapists that we know will conduct a thorough evaluation.

We always review (and possibly, edit) their reports to ensure they are complete and meets our practices high standards.

Do you bill the client directly, or can the attorney pay on their behalf?

We generally accept payments from the client, but we have a PCI-compliant credit card payment portal that prompts for the type of evaluation, options, customer name and credit card information. Anyone with the URL link can pay using this system -- client, family member, attorney, etc.

So, this means technically -- we can accept payment for the evaluation from anybody. So long as the customer name field is recognizable to us, we will know who the payment is being made on behalf of.
