What is a Hardship Evaluation?

A hardship evaluation will assess the difficulties that you and your family would face if your loved one were to be deported or refused entry/re-entry into the United States.

The evaluation process uses a thorough biopsychosocial approach in order to provide an accurate assessment of how this situation would affect you and other members of your immediate family. This evaluation is very important for those seeking legal status for their loved ones, as it will show what hardships they may face if denied such status.

You know that deportation or refusal to re-enter the United States would cause serious hardship for your immediate family, but that is not always easy for families to convey. A hardship evaluation done by a professional is one way to very clearly demonstrate just how devastating a separation would be.
