Immigration psychiatry & visa evaluations

Independent, expert psychiatric reports for immigration solicitors, tribunals and visa applications, prepared by consultant psychiatrists with experience of trauma, asylum and cross-cultural assessment.

Reports we provide

  • Asylum and human rights claims: assessment of PTSD, depression and other conditions arising from persecution, torture or trafficking, compliant with the Istanbul Protocol.
  • Article 3 and Article 8 medical evidence: risk on return, suicide risk and availability of treatment in the country of origin.
  • Fitness to give evidence and recommendations for vulnerable witness adjustments at tribunal.
  • Visa evaluations: psychiatric reports supporting spousal, hardship and waiver applications, including for US immigration.
  • Detention reviews: Rule 35 style assessments of the effect of detention on mental health.

Our approach

Assessments are conducted sensitively, with professional interpreters where needed, and may take place in clinic, by secure video or in detention settings. Our consultants are experienced in the diagnostic challenges of cross-cultural presentations and in writing reports that are clear, balanced and useful to decision-makers.
