A U-Visa psychological evaluation is a clinical assessment conducted by a licensed psychologist to support individuals applying for a U nonimmigrant visa (Form I-918). This visa is available to victims of qualifying criminal activity who have suffered mental, emotional, or physical abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement in investigating or prosecuting the crime.
The purpose of the evaluation is to document the psychological effects of the trauma—such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—and explain how the experience has impacted the applicant’s daily life and overall functioning.
At KindestMind, our clinicians use trauma-informed care and culturally sensitive interviewing to ensure every client feels safe and supported throughout the evaluation process. The final report can be submitted with the U-Visa petition to strengthen the applicant’s case before USCIS.
