Hello All,

Newbie here! I am the petitioner for my Peruvian born husband for the I-601. We were approved for the I-130 last month! My question is should I do the psych evaluation my lawyer sugessted although I have no history of mental distresses? Will the adjuster see that I only went once and discredit my letter, that is if anything comes out that I do suffer from depression or something. I've seen mixed reviews on the psych evaluation.

That was clear, BUT you didn't provide any background information on why you even need to file a waiver. If you want VJ'ers to help you, you should provide the full story.

OP - I've been following Laurel Scott, the famed immigration attorney, for a while She often does not support the use of a psych evaluation because the adjudicator often feels that the 'depression' t

Meaning: she's trying to prove hardship where there isn't any by getting a psych evaluation.

Why does he need a waiver. Why.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

It's for a provisional unlawful presence waiver. So we are now filing the I-601 to prove extreme hardship.

Hi, i never did any mental health evaluations when i submitted my waiver, nor did i use an attorney. my hardships/arguments were sufficient enough. your lawyer may just want you to go to an evaluation to see if there is any other hardships you could add to your waiver. however, just because you go to the evaluation does not mean that they will diagnose you with any mental illness or prove any additional hardship. your attorney may just be looking for avenues to strenghten your waiver package.

Thank you! It's one expensive avenue ($1,250.00)! I expressesd my concern to her and she said she strong sugessts that I do it. I just don't want anything that could hurt us. I'm sure lots of people use this method and possibly adjusters are pretty privy to the "I have emotional distress" hardship when you've only been to one visit.

1250.00 seems high, you could try to compare with other specialists to see if they can do any better. also, you could try an organization called catholic social services, not sure if they are in your area if not they may be able to refer you somewhere. they are reasonable and go on a sliding scale and are very familiar with a lot of aspects of immigration evals and letters.

You are posting in the DCF forum. Do you currently live in Peru? I am pretty sure that Peru no longer does DCF, so even if you live in Peru, I don't think you are doing DCF.

Your husband has unlawful presence, was he deported? DId he enter illegally? Where is he now?

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!
