Immigration psychological report: frequently asked questions

These are the questions we hear most often about the psychological report that accompanies an immigration file.

What format is it delivered in?

A PDF including the clinician's details, license number and signature, sent by email to the person evaluated.

Who signs it?

The licensed psychologist who conducted the evaluation. We do not sign reports for interviews conducted by someone else.

How long does it take?

It depends on the number of sessions and the complexity of the case. The estimated timeline is confirmed when booking, once we know your situation.

Can it be done in a single session?

Sometimes. With long accounts or sensitive material, the clinician may propose a second session to complete the evaluation carefully.

What language is the report written in?

The interview is in Spanish. The report is written according to what your file requires, agreed before starting.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Professional confidentiality applies. The report goes to the person evaluated, who decides with whom to share it.

Does the report guarantee an outcome?

No. It is a clinical document that adds professional information; the decision on your process does not rest with the evaluating clinician.

Do I need an attorney to request one?

Not to book the evaluation. It is advisable that whoever handles your case knows you will submit it, so it fits the rest of the file.
