Consent for an Immigration Evaluation
What this is. We will meet and talk about your life, your health, and what has happened to you. I will write a report for an immigration case.
This is not therapy. I am not your therapist, and this is not treatment. My job is to give an honest, independent professional opinion.
Who will see it. Your lawyer receives the report. Your lawyer may file it with immigration or with the court. Because of that, what you tell me is not private the way therapy is private.
Two things I must act on by law. If someone is in serious danger of being hurt, or if a child or a vulnerable adult is being abused.
You are in charge. You can skip any question, ask for a break, or stop at any time. Some questions ask about hard experiences.
Records and cost. We keep your answers in your file. Fees are what we agreed.
Questions. Ask me anything, at any time. You can keep a copy of this form.
