What is the U Visa?
The U Visa is an immigration protection created for persons who have been victims of certain serious crimes in the United States, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, kidnapping, among others. To qualify, the person must have been a victim, suffered physical or psychological harm, and cooperated with authorities in the investigation or prosecution of the crime.
This visa not only protects the victim, but can also open the way to permanent residency in the U.S.
Importance of a psychological evaluation in the U Visa process
An important part of the process is to demonstrate how that crime affected your mental health. To do this, immigration attorneys often request a U Visa psychological evaluation by a licensed psychologist with clinical experience.
This assessment serves as professional proof of the emotional impact you experienced, and may include:
- Generalized or acute anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Depression
- Insomnia or nightmares
- Social isolation
- Persistent fear
A well-done assessment makes the legal case stronger and allows your story to be heard with sensitivity and clinical support.
