Types of Evaluations
Asylum
An asylum immigration evaluation assesses an individual's eligibility for protection granted to those facing persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The evaluation examines the applicant's claim's credibility, the persecution's severity, and the likelihood of future harm if returned to their home country. The evaluation offers a comprehensive assessment supporting the asylum seeker's case. Completing an asylum immigration evaluation can strengthen the individual's application for asylum status, providing a pathway to refuge and protection in the host country.
U-visa
A U-visa immigration evaluation supports an individual's eligibility for a U-visa for victims of certain crimes who have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement. The evaluation assesses the crime details, the harm endured, and the cooperation level with law enforcement. The comprehensive report helps strengthen and support the applicant's U-visa petition, enhancing the likelihood of approval for individual protection and the opportunity for lawful status in the United States.
VAWA
A VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) immigration evaluation assesses an individual's eligibility for immigration benefits under VAWA, which protects victims of domestic violence. The evaluation examines the evidence of abuse, the bona fide nature of the relationship with the abusive U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and the impact of the abuse on the victim. A comprehensive VAWA immigration evaluation can strengthen the case for immigration relief, allowing eligible individuals to pursue legal status independently of the abuser.
T-visa
A T-visa immigration evaluation is for non-immigrant individuals who have been subjected to human trafficking and severe forms of exploitation. The comprehensive evaluation examines the details of the trafficking experience, the impact on the victim, and their willingness to assist law enforcement in investigating and prosecuting trafficking crimes. A T-visa immigration evaluation enhances the chances of approval by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), providing victims with legal status and protection in the United States.
Hardship
A hardship immigration evaluation assesses an individual's eligibility for immigration relief based on hardship grounds. It involves demonstrating that deportation or denial of a visa would result in extreme and unusual hardship to the individual or their qualifying family members. The evaluation examines family ties, medical conditions, and other compelling circumstances. Completing a hardship immigration evaluation can strengthen an individual's case for relief, allowing them to remain in or gain legal status in the host country.
