Psychological evaluations provide a comprehensive understanding of the applicant's mental well-being and credibility. When individuals experience trauma, whether it be physical, emotional, or psychological, the impact on their mental health can be profound. These evaluations help immigration authorities assess the validity of the applicant's claims, ensuring that those who truly need protection are granted asylum.

An immigration psychological evaluation helps support the immigrant’s case by providing evidence and details of trauma they have endured and how it has impacted their psychological functioning.
