At WPTC, we provide psychological evaluations for immigration proceedings, such as:

• Certification for Disability Exceptions
• Extreme Hardship
• Political Asylum
• Spousal Abuse

During the evaluation process, our psychologists work collaboratively with law firms and attorneys.

Certification for Disability Exceptions

As part of our evaluations, we complete Form N-648, Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions. This form is used for individuals applying for U.S. citizenship that need to request an exception to the English and civics testing requirements for naturalization because of a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment.

Extreme Hardship

These cases focus on whether an individual or family will suffer extreme hardship if an individual or family member were to be deported under current immigration laws. 

Political Asylum

In political asylum cases, an individual has been subjected to abuse and mistreatment in a foreign country. 

Spousal Abuse

In spousal abuse cases, a man or a woman from a foreign country marries a citizen or a legal permanent resident of the United States. After the couple is married, the United States citizen or legal permanent resident then abuses his or her spouse.
