Immigration Evaluation

An immigration evaluation is an in-depth assessment that helps individuals seeking legal status in the U.S. by documenting the emotional, psychological, and hardship-related impacts of their situation. These evaluations provide crucial support for asylum cases, hardship waivers, VAWA petitions, U-Visas, and more—helping immigrants and their families share their stories and pursue safety, stability, and a better future.

  • Extreme Hardship Waiver

    Extreme Hardship Waivers are available to individuals who have stayed in the United States without legal permission. A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member can apply on their behalf, demonstrating that they would face significant hardship if separated from or forced to relocate with the immigrant.

  • Asylum Evaluations

    Asylum is a legal protection for individuals who fear persecution in their home country. To apply, you must submit your application with the help of a lawyer within one year of arriving in the U.S. This protection also extends to your spouse and children. Persecution may be based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a specific social group.

  • VAWA Evaluations

    The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) allows non-citizen immigrants—regardless of gender—who have experienced abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child to apply for legal status without the abuser’s knowledge. To qualify, the applicant must provide evidence (such as police reports or other documentation) proving they have suffered domestic violence or abuse.

  • U Visa & T Visa

    A U-Visa is a non-immigrant visa for victims of certain crimes (and their immediate family members) that occurred in the United States. A T-Visa is specifically for victims of human trafficking. To qualify, the applicant must have suffered physical or mental harm due to the crime and be willing to cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation. U.S. authorities provide protection and support to victims throughout this process.

ADHD Evaluation

What Are ADHD Evaluations & Why They Matter for Underserved Communities?

An ADHD evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that includes clinical interviews, behavioral questionnaires, cognitive testing, and medical screenings to diagnose ADHD and rule out other conditions.

Why It’s Important for Overlooked Communities

Underrepresented individuals often face barriers to diagnosis and treatment, including:

  • Underdiagnosis & Misdiagnosis – Black and Brown children are often mislabeled as "problematic" instead of receiving proper ADHD support.

  • Cultural Stigma – Many communities see ADHD as a personal failing rather than a medical condition.

  • Limited Access to Care – Systemic barriers make it harder to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.

  • Educational & Social Impact – Untreated ADHD can lead to struggles in school, low self-esteem, and even criminalization of symptoms.

The Need for Culturally Competent ADHD Evaluations

Increasing awareness and access to ADHD evaluations helps ensure proper diagnosis, treatment, and accommodations, allowing marginalized individuals to thrive in school, work, and life.
