Not Legal Advice
The Evaluation Supports the Clinical Side of the Case
A psychological evaluation does not determine whether a misrepresentation waiver will be approved and does not provide a legal opinion about fraud, misrepresentation, removability, admissibility, eligibility, or discretion.
The clinician’s role is to provide an independent mental health assessment documenting symptoms, emotional functioning, hardship impact, family stressors, trauma history, clinical observations, and the psychological impact of possible immigration consequences.
