Our Process for Immigration Evaluations

Guarantees Personalized Care

STEP 1

Complete the Intake Form

  • Choose and complete the intake form for your specific immigration case (e.g., asylum, VAWA, N-648). Each form can be translated into Thai, Chinese, Spanish, or Tagalog to ensure clients feel comfortable responding in their preferred language.

STEP 2

Schedule Your Appointment

  • We will coordinate to set a time for your telehealth evaluation. Our sessions are conducted through HIPAA-compliant, secure video conferencing and typically last between 2-3 hours to ensure thorough documentation.​

STEP 3

Attend Your Psychological Evaluation

  • During the appointment, you’ll have a detailed interview covering personal and mental health history. Our objective is to gather information that provides a comprehensive, unbiased understanding of your psychological needs.
  • Immigration law may require an interpreter, even if our evaluator speaks your language. You may arrange your own interpreter, or we can provide one for an additional fee.

STEP 4

Receive Your Evaluation Report

  • Within two weeks, PECGNA provides a complete psychological report (8-20 pages). Expedited services are available if needed to meet pressing deadlines.
  • After your report is reviewed and approved, the final document will be provided and ready for submission with your immigration application.

Her compassionate approach helps people navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that often accompany these experiences.

In addition to her work with trauma and immigration, Dr. Irada has completed specialized training in Psychological Evaluation for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) through the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). As a member of ASRM and its Mental Health Professionals Group (MHPG), she supports individuals and families on their family-building journeys. Her evaluations help identify emotional needs and provide guidance to ensure the well-being of all involved.
