Hardship Evaluation

When an individual is labeled as “inadmissible” and faces visa denial or deportation, the Immigration Hardship Waiver becomes a lifeline, a process overseen by the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services).

Eligibility for Immigration Hardship Waiver
Specific factors determine an individual’s eligibility for an immigration hardship waiver. These factors include:

1. Health: When an individual’s health is too fragile for travel, or the required treatment is only available where they currently receive it.
2. Financial Consideration: If inadmissibility leads to a significant loss of income, potentially disrupting the individual’s life.
3. Education: Loss of placement at a university or higher learning institution due to inadmissibility can be a compelling reason for an immigration hardship waiver.
4. Personal Considerations: Including the separation of a parent from their children or the separation of a spouse from their partner.
5. Special Factors: These encompass a fear of ostracism, threats to one’s life due to circumstances in their home country, and concerns over extradition leading to potential harm or even death.

As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in conducting psychological assessments for immigration cases related to extreme hardship waivers or cancellation of removal. My evaluations play a crucial role in shedding light on the potential extreme hardships that my clients’ family members might endure when separated from them or when they choose to relocate to another country to remain with them.

I offer both in-person and Telehealth evaluations, accommodating clients residing throughout Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Nevada, and New Mexico. Appointments typically span several hours and can be scheduled in a single day or over several sessions, depending on the timeline of your specific case. To ensure the accuracy of the evaluation process, I encourage you to submit relevant documents, such as affidavits, police reports, medical records, and any materials pertinent to your case.
