Quick answer
Costs vary by provider, case complexity, language support, and turnaround. Ask whether the quote includes the interview, document review, clinical assessment tools, a detailed report that is generally 10-15 pages, professional interpreter support for most languages at no additional cost, attorney coordination, revisions, and payment options. Current pricing and availability are listed on the main immigration service page.

You want to know what an immigration psychological evaluation costs. Clear answers are hard to find online. This article explains what changes the price and what to check when you compare providers.
A good evaluation is more than an interview. The fee usually covers the interview (one to two hours), a review of your documents, and any screening tools. It also covers the time to write the report, and sometimes talking with your attorney about what the report needs.
The written report often takes the most time. Providers differ, so compare what each fee includes: interview length, document review, tools, report length, interpreter support, attorney contact, revisions, and turnaround.
Interpreter fees are another thing to check. Some providers charge extra for an interpreter. I include a professional interpreter at no extra cost for most languages.
Fees depend on location, case type, interview time, report length, language needs, and deadline. A higher or lower price does not tell you how good the report is. Ask each provider to explain in writing what the fee includes. Then you can compare on the same basis.
Current pricing is in the FAQ on the main immigration page. The fee includes one or two video meetings, up to about two hours in total, document review, and screening tools. It also includes a 10-15 page report, a professional interpreter, contact with your attorney, and revisions when clinically appropriate. Your report is usually ready 5 business days after I have everything I need.
When you compare providers, the price is only part of it. Ask what is included and how detailed the report will be.
Immigration evaluations are written for a legal case, not as ongoing treatment, and they are not billed like therapy.
Current pricing is in the FAQ on the main immigration page. No evaluation can promise a result, whatever it costs.
Price is one factor among several. Check the provider's licenses, experience with your case type, how they interview and write, language support, timeline, and how they handle attorney questions and revisions.
Ask for clear terms before you schedule, including when payment is due and what costs extra. I offer a free call to explain the process, the timeline, and what is included before you decide.
