When a person faces the threat of deportation, one potential form of relief is filing for Cancellation of Removal. However, successfully pursuing such a case often requires presenting compelling evidence, including a psychological evaluation. This evaluation helps the court understand how deportation may impact the applicant and their loved ones.
What is an evaluation for cancellation of removal?
A psychological evaluation for cancellation of removal is a detailed report prepared by a qualified psychologist. This document provides the court with information:
About the emotional and psychological state of the applicant
The presence of traumatic experiences, such as domestic violence, persecution in the applicant’s home country, or significant life hardships
The potential consequences of deportation for the applicant and their family
The purpose of such an evaluation is to demonstrate that deportation could cause serious and irreversible harm to the applicant or their loved ones, especially when it involves children, spouses, or other dependents.
How is the evaluation conducted?
A personal interview with the applicant.
Reviewing the individual's life history, migration experiences, relationships with loved ones, and current emotional state.
Document analysis
This may include medical records, letters from employers, references, and other materials supporting the individual's difficult life circumstances.
Preparation of the report
A report of approximately 12-16 pages, including the evaluation results, a description of identified issues, and recommendations for the court.
