ABSTRACT
The use of forensic psychological experts in immigration matters is a developing and evolving area of practice (Evans, 2000; Frumkind & Friedland, 1995), which has increasingly provided attorneys with valuable and, at times, essential evidence in representing their clients before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and the Immigration Court (IC).1 Yet, psychological assessments adequate in clinical settings or forensic reports based solely on clinical treatment frequently fail to address the more stringent standards of objectivity and neutrality required for psychological assessment in the legal setting (see Weiner & Hess, 2006; Melton, Petrila, Poythress, & Slobogin, 1998) and the particularities of IC (Frumkind & Friedland, 1995).
