Understanding What An Immigration Evaluation Is

An immigration evaluation is a clinical document provided by a licensed mental health professional. The evaluation is focused on the specific immigration case that the client is seeking. Examples of immigration cases include the following:

Your counselor will take time to provide clear direction on every step of the session. During the course of the sessions, the counselor will document key information, provide if applicable test, engage in research, and work closely with your attorney. The counselor uses the information found to write a lengthy effectively written evaluation which is provided to the client and if needed can be given to the attorney.

The counselor’s role in writing and conducting the evaluation is natural and professional. This is a professional and ethical foundation that guides the work of the counselor. What this means in average joe terms is that the counselor will be neutral, unbiased, and write the evaluation based on the information found in the session.

Each case and individual is handled uniquely with the goal of providing the most effective and clinically sound service.

Is the evaluation the same as counseling?

Counseling and Psychotherapy are not the same service as an evaluation. The service of writing an evaluation is focused on the clinician providing a neutral unbiased professional service aimed at identifying a professional opinion based on the information found. Evaluations do not focus on treatment as would the service of counseling. Counselors at Santos Counseling PLLC will take time to identify and share recommendations found in order provide supportive referrals post the evaluation service.

Is the immigration evaluation covered by insurance?

Counselors at Santos Counseling PLLC do not take insurance due to the nature of the service. Extensive hours take place in the service of writing the immigration evaluation, time is spent working the attorney, and time is spent researching and identifying appropriate assessments. Counselors at Santos Counseling PLLC will take time to provide education on fees and support as much as possible.

Is the immigration evaluation the same as a testimony?

The immigration evaluation is focused on a physical report which differs from a verbal testimony that may be requested. Not all cases require the counselor to attend court and provide testimony. Typically, the immigration attorney handling the case is able to provide further detail on the need for testimony in court. Counselors at Santos Counseling PLLC can provide support with both of the services. It is important to know that fees differ for each. Please speak to your counselor if you should need support with a testimony.
