About This Course
There are vast complexities in evaluating psychosocial cases for spousal abuse, and the complications are made even more severe when they are in the context of immigration petitions. This timely and comprehensive CLE course, presented by attorney Mark Silver, will explain how these types of cases are evaluated from a clinical perspective as well as the potential challenges that the victim may face as married to an American citizen. Characteristics of abusers, typical cycles of abuse, understanding why immigrant women are often targets for abuse and the criteria for evaluations and how they may impact immigration petitions and profiles will all be discussed.
