A comprehensive extreme hardship psychological evaluation considers multiple areas of impact that USCIS recognizes as contributing to hardship. These factors include:
- Emotional and psychological health: Depression, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms that would worsen if separated from the loved one.
- Physical health: Existing medical conditions that would be negatively affected by stress or loss of support.
- Family relationships: Disruption to caregiving responsibilities, parenting, or marital stability.
- Financial hardship: Dependence on the applicant’s income or support.
- Cultural and social factors: Loss of community or cultural identity if relocation occurs.
- Safety concerns: Risks associated with relocating to the applicant’s country of origin.
By thoroughly documenting these factors, KindestMind’s evaluators create comprehensive, evidence-based reports that help strengthen hardship waiver petitions submitted to USCIS.
