Immigration Appraisal

Certified Property Valuations for USCIS Filings

When real estate is used to support an immigration petition, accuracy and documentation are critical. A professional immigration appraisal from DMA Appraisers provides a certified, unbiased valuation designed to support U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) filings, including adjustment of status, family-based petitions, and sponsorship cases where assets are used to demonstrate financial eligibility across Long Island, Nassau County, and Suffolk County.

Immigration appraisals are commonly required when property value is used to support affidavits of support, hardship waivers, or financial documentation. Unlike online estimates or informal opinions, an immigration appraisal establishes verifiable fair market value for properties throughout Long Island including Bellmore, Rockville Center, Port Washington and Valley Stream, supported by accepted appraisal methodology and clear documentation.

DMA Appraisers produces well-supported appraisal reports suitable for submission with immigration filings and review by attorneys and government agencies in communities across Nassau County, Suffolk County and Queens.

Why an Immigration Appraisal Is Important

Documented Property Value for USCIS Review

USCIS requires financial evidence to be credible, well-documented, and supported by objective third-party sources. A certified appraisal provides:

  • Verifiable fair market value
  • Clear valuation methodology
  • Professional documentation suitable for legal filings

Avoid Delays or Requests for Evidence (RFEs)

Incomplete or unsupported property valuations can result in Requests for Evidence (RFEs), delaying case processing. A professional appraisal helps reduce questions by clearly substantiating asset value.

Neutral & Unbiased Valuation

Immigration appraisals must be independent and objective. DMA Appraisers provides neutral valuations prepared by a licensed appraiser with no vested interest in the outcome of the case.

Benefits of an Immigration Appraisal

  • Certified, third-party property valuation
  • Clear documentation for immigration filings
  • Support for affidavits of support and financial eligibility
  • Reduced risk of Requests for Evidence (RFEs) due to unclear valuation
  • USPAP-compliant appraisal methodology

DMA Appraisers provides immigration appraisals for primary residences, rental properties, luxury homes, and investment real estate throughout Long Island.

An immigration appraisal is a certified property valuation used to support immigration filings when real estate assets are included as financial evidence.

When property value is used to demonstrate financial eligibility, USCIS requires credible documentation showing fair market value.

Online estimates are generally insufficient. USCIS prefers professionally supported, third-party documentation.

No. The appraisal supports asset valuation only and does not influence legal eligibility or approval decisions.

Immigration attorneys, petitioners, sponsors, and families commonly request immigration appraisals.
