Forensic Immigration Services
Immigration psychological evaluations that strengthen your case.
When your future in this country depends on documenting hardship, trauma, or psychological impact, the quality of your evaluation matters. New Birth Family Counseling provides thorough, court-ready forensic evaluations grounded in clinical and forensic expertise, and delivered with the dignity every client deserves.
A clinical evaluation built to meet the standards of USCIS and the courts.
An immigration psychological evaluation is a formal forensic assessment that produces a detailed written report for your immigration case. Its purpose is to provide objective clinical evidence of the hardship, trauma, or psychological impact at the heart of your legal argument.
It is not therapy, and it is not a substitute for ongoing care. It is a focused, professional assessment designed to be read by immigration officials and judges, and to give your attorney a credible, well-documented foundation for your petition.
Evaluations for the cases where psychological evidence matters most.
Every case is different, and every evaluation is tailored to the specific legal standard it needs to meet. We support a full range of immigration matters.
Extreme Hardship Waivers
Documenting the severe emotional and psychological hardship a qualifying relative would face due to separation or relocation.
Violence Against Women Act
Documenting trauma, abuse, and its psychological consequences for survivors petitioning under VAWA protections.
Victims of Crime
Establishing the mental and emotional harm suffered as a victim of qualifying criminal activity in the United States.
Trafficking Survivors
Documenting the psychological impact of human trafficking to support T-visa relief and the path to safety.
Asylum & Persecution
Documenting PTSD, depression, anxiety, and trauma stemming from persecution, violence, or fear of return.
Cancellation of Removal
Documenting the hardship to qualifying family members that supports a defense against removal proceedings.
The right evaluation can change the outcome. Choose an evaluator who understands both worlds.
Immigration evaluations live at the intersection of clinical insight and legal rigor. New Birth was built for exactly this kind of integrative, high-stakes work.
Forensic-trained expertise
Our evaluations are conducted and signed by Dr. Regina Ransom, whose graduate training in forensic psychology brings exactly the rigor these reports require. Judges weigh credibility heavily, and a forensically sound report holds up under scrutiny.
Genuine trauma specialization
These cases turn on documenting trauma accurately and compassionately. Our practice is built around trauma-informed, evidence-based care, so we know how to recognize, evaluate, and articulate psychological impact with both clinical depth and humanity.
Culturally responsive & accessible
We serve clients from all backgrounds with care that honors identity, language, and lived experience. Spanish-language access is available through professional interpretation, with a bilingual licensed clinician joining our team.

What to know about cost & logistics
Immigration psychological evaluations are forensic assessments and are not billed to or covered by health insurance. Our flat fee keeps pricing clear from the start, with no surprise hourly charges.
Expedited turnaround is available for cases with upcoming filing or court deadlines for an additional fee. Court testimony, if requested, is billed separately. We recommend scheduling your evaluation several weeks ahead of your filing deadline whenever possible.
