Immigration Evaluation and Assessment
Thorough, Trauma-Informed Evaluations and Assessments for Immigration Proceedings
At Dr. Sanderson and Associates, we understand that immigration proceedings can be complex and emotionally overwhelming. A comprehensive psychological evaluation and assessment can be a critical component of a successful immigration case. Our dedicated Immigration Evaluations and Assessments Team partners with attorneys and clients to provide highly detailed, objective, and culturally sensitive psychological evaluations and assessments.
Proudly serving the Portland to Salem corridor, we provide a secure, supportive environment for every client.
For Legal & Referring Professionals
We tailor our evaluations and assessments to the particular needs of each individual case. Our clinicians are highly trained in trauma diagnostics and provide comprehensive evaluation and assessment reports for the following:
Asylum Cases:
We explain the psychological reasons why a client may have missed the one-year filing deadline. We detail how PTSD and other psychological symptoms provide evidence of the persecution the client has suffered.
Extreme Hardship Waivers:
We identify unique factors contributing to a client's psychological distress, such as illness, disability, professional, financial, or academic hardship, or adverse home-country conditions that would affect the petitioner or their family members.
VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) Cases:
We detail the psychological symptoms that are common for victims of domestic violence and assist in assessing credibility. Where useful, we also explain less common phenomena, such as the ways in which men are abused by female partners.
