Immigration Psychological Evaluations in New Mexico
Serving Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, and families nationwide by secure video. Bilingual, USCIS-ready, co-signed by two clinicians, from $750.
Kipu Terra provides immigration psychological evaluations across New Mexico, including Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and Rio Rancho, and for families nationwide. Every evaluation is conducted by secure video, in English or Spanish, and produces a USCIS-ready psychosocial report co-signed by two licensed clinicians, from $750 with a 3 to 7 day standard turnaround.
The firm is New Mexico based and serves the whole state, but the evaluation is not tied to a physical office. It is a remote forensic immigration assessment: a licensed evaluator, standardized instruments, and a written report addressed to USCIS. New Mexico is the home base, never a limit on where the firm serves.
Looking for an immigration psychological evaluation near me?
The evaluation happens by secure video (Google Meet, free, works on any internet or phone connection), so the nearest qualified evaluator is a video call away, from any city in New Mexico or any state. There is no waiting room and no drive. The interview is scheduled around the family, and the same standardized process applies whether you are in Albuquerque or another part of the country.
For a hardship waiver, the qualifying relative is the person evaluated. See the I-601A extreme hardship evaluation and the I-601 waiver evaluation for who is evaluated and what the report documents.
Immigration psychological evaluations in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho
The Albuquerque metro, including Rio Rancho, is where much of New Mexico's immigration attorney work and USCIS-bound casework is concentrated. Kipu Terra takes attorney referrals for that region and conducts bilingual clinical interviews by secure video, so families there do not have to travel to be evaluated. The interview can be in Spanish or English, with no interpreter.
The evaluation is conducted by a New Mexico Licensed Master Social Worker and co-signed by an independently licensed Clinical Social Worker, the firm's Clinical Lead, before release. Families in Rio Rancho searching for a psychologist for an immigration case will find that what the case actually needs is a licensed clinician who performs forensic immigration evaluations; that is what Kipu Terra does. Where a case involves a hardship waiver, the clinical evidence is documented in an I-601A extreme hardship evaluation.
For families who prefer to be interviewed in Spanish, see how an immigration psychological evaluation in Spanish works: the interview is in Spanish, the report is in English for USCIS, and no interpreter is used.
Immigration evaluations in Santa Fe
Kipu Terra is based in Santa Fe and works with families and attorneys across northern New Mexico. The process is the same remote, secure-video evaluation used statewide: a clinical interview, standardized instruments scored against DSM-5-TR criteria, and a written report for USCIS. The firm keeps a verified Google Business Profile and lists its New Mexico service areas there. Santa Fe is the home base; the service reaches the whole state and the whole country.
Immigration and hardship evaluations in Las Cruces and southern New Mexico
Border-region families in Las Cruces and across southern New Mexico often face tight filing and court deadlines. Kipu Terra documents extreme hardship for waiver cases by secure video and offers faster turnaround tiers when a deadline demands it: expedited service in 48 hours and same-day emergency service. The hardship evaluation assesses the qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative, and the report ties the clinical findings to the legal standard the case must meet.
How the remote evaluation works, anywhere in the United States
The evaluation is delivered as a remote forensic immigration assessment via secure video (Google Meet, free, works on any internet or phone connection). A licensed evaluator conducts one or more clinical interviews with the person being evaluated, administers standardized instruments, and writes a report addressed to USCIS. The service is offered nationwide; New Mexico is the home base, not a limit on where the firm serves.
Three roles stay separate. The referring attorney files the waiver and handles the legal work. Kipu Terra provides the clinical evaluation only. The client pays the attorney for legal services and the firm separately for the evaluation. Kipu Terra does not give legal advice or decide eligibility; whether a case needs an evaluation and which form fits are questions for the attorney.

Do I need an evaluator in my own city?
No. The evaluation is conducted by secure video (Google Meet), so the evaluator does not have to be in your city or even your state. Families in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, and anywhere in the United States are seen the same way. What matters is a licensed clinician who performs forensic immigration evaluations, not a nearby office.
I searched for an immigration evaluation therapist near me. Is that who does this?
What an immigration case needs is a licensed clinician who performs forensic immigration evaluations, which is a different service from therapy. Kipu Terra provides evaluations only, not therapy or treatment. The evaluator interviews the qualifying relative, administers standardized instruments, and writes a report for USCIS. Many people search using the words "therapist" or "psychologist," so it is worth naming plainly: this is a clinical evaluation, not counseling.
How do I find a psychological evaluator for an I-601A hardship case in New Mexico?
Start with the case type. For an I-601A, the qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse or parent is the person evaluated, and the standard is extreme hardship. Kipu Terra evaluates that qualifying relative by secure video, anywhere in New Mexico or nationwide, and returns a USCIS-ready report to the referring attorney. The I-601A extreme hardship evaluation page explains who is evaluated and what the report documents.
Where can I get a psychological evaluation for immigration?
You can complete the evaluation from wherever you are. Kipu Terra is a New Mexico based firm that conducts immigration psychological evaluations by secure video for families across the state and nationwide. Referrals usually come from the immigration attorney, who sends the case material; the client pays the firm directly, and the completed report returns to the attorney for the waiver filing.
Can the evaluation be done in Spanish?
Yes. The interview is conducted in Spanish or English by a bilingual evaluator, with no interpreter needed. The report itself is written in English addressed to USCIS, and a brief Spanish-language summary of the completed evaluation is available on request.
