Psychological immigration evaluations require clinicians to walk a fine line: include enough detail to be objective and credible, but avoid irrelevant information that could harm a client’s immigration case. This episode explores how to make those tough judgment calls in private practice, guided by the APA Ethics Code and forensic psychology standards.You’ll hear how to apply a “relevance and necessity” test, why certain disclosures belong in your private notes instead of your report, and how collaboration with immigration attorneys can protect both you and your clients. Real-world examples—like old shoplifting incidents, substance use history, or undocumented entries—illustrate when details support legal strategy and when they create unnecessary risk.For psychologists, social workers, and mental health professionals conducting psychological immigration evaluations in the US, this conversation offers a clear framework to strengthen your forensic reports, maintain ethical integrity, and safeguard your clients in the immigration process.Ready to Make an Impact?If you’re serious about doing immigration evaluations right way—without risking real lives—get the training and mentorship you need. 🎓💡  Use your skills to help level the playing field ⚖️ and make a real difference in people's lives. 🎓 Become an Expert Immigration EvaluatorJoin our Certificate Training Program to gain the skills and confidence needed to conduct effective immigration evaluations.👉 Learn More Here📘 Not Sure Where to Start as an Evaluator?Download our Free Guide to learn the essentials and see if this work is the right fit for you.👉 Get your free guide📲 Follow Us to Grow Your Expertise🔹 Instagram 🔹 Facebook🔹 LinkedIn 🌟 Join our private Facebook community for deeper discussions, peer support, and access to valuable training opportunities.👉 Click here to join the group
