Immigration Evaluations

As an immigrant in America, it is natural that you might feel daunted by the U.S. citizenship process. Gaining citizenship in the USA can be a fraught process, and the language used during the process can feel quite intimidating. You are not alone in feeling that way. However, any immigrant looking to receive evaluation for citizenship and naturalization into the country might need support.

I can provide the immigration evaluations that can be a make-or-break part of your case. Having helped many immigrants comply with the naturalization process, I can make what is often a very fraught and confusing process much easier to comply with. If you are someone who has a disability, it can be especially challenging to come through the naturalization and citizenship process alone.

With my expert opinion on your naturalization case, I can make it more likely that you can push through the challenges many have faced. Suppose you wish to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. In that case, you likely need expert testimony to help provide the U.S. Government with proof that you can be an active, positive contributor to American society.

What Is Naturalization?

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This process can be time-consuming and often challenging, involving time, effort, and research. You must also satisfy various requirements that you might find difficult to comprehend alone.

To apply to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, an applicant must meet specific eligibility requirements. One of the most common processes in applying for U.S. naturalization and citizenship, for example, is to prove that you can competently read, write, and speak English.

However, some applicants can be exempt from fulfilling the English and/or civics requirements if they cannot do so because of physical or developmental disability or mental impairments.

What If I Cannot Meet The Naturalization Requirements?

This is where my expertise can be essential to your citizenship program. I can provide you with the assessment needed to help argue that you are exempt from passing certain elements of the U.S. citizenship program.

Through an evaluation with me, I can help you build a profile to show to the U.S. government that helps them understand your current situation. This can be invaluable in making sure that your case is taken seriously.

Individuals may sometimes qualify for an exemption (N-648) from the English and U.S. Civics requirements for U.S. naturalization if there is a presence of a physical, developmental disability, or mental impairment. I can provide a professional testimony alongside your N-648 form application through an assessment with me.

My professional experience and history in providing accurate immigration psychological evaluations can play a deciding role in your success in this situation. You can better help the U.S. Government understand your situation and why the exemption should be considered through an evaluation with me. Arguing this alone without professional support can often be a fruitless process.

I can help add extra weight to your argument, ensuring you are heard loudly and clearly. My evaluation can help ensure that any issues you have that might otherwise make you exempt can provide you with a greater chance of being accepted as a U.S. citizen despite not passing the usual barrier to entry.

What Is The Process For Immigration Evaluations?

Through an in-person or online interview for around one to two hours, I will evaluate you through a series of questions. I can provide you with a written evaluation of my assessment of your condition, which can provide a thorough and detailed level of evidence to the U.S. Government regarding your current situation and condition.

This provides additional evidence in your case to help you work towards U.S. citizenship. Regardless of your situation, I am confident that I can help you to work towards overcoming these difficulties. Suppose you have an impairment that you believe prohibits you from taking the standard U.S. citizenship course. In that case, I can help provide testimony on your behalf that will hopefully assist you in gaining citizenship.

The sooner we start, the sooner we can get everything in place ahead of time. Contact me today, and we can arrange a suitable timeframe for you to undergo an evaluation.
