Polygraph Testing for Immigration and Asylum Cases
When navigating the complex U.S. immigration system, credibility is everything. For many immigrants and asylum seekers, polygraph exams are a way to strengthen their testimony, verify key claims, and build trust in the legal process.
At Spectrum Polygraph Services, we provide professional, confidential, and bilingual polygraph exams to support individuals and attorneys in immigration and asylum-related matters.
Why Use a Polygraph for Immigration or Asylum?
In many immigration cases, success depends on:
- The credibility of the applicant
- The consistency of their story
- The ability to prove past events or threats
A polygraph test can:
- Support affidavits or sworn statements
- Confirm experiences related to persecution, trauma, or political activity
- Strengthen your attorney’s ability to argue your case
- Assist with removal defense, visa applications, or asylum hearings
Common Immigration Situations Where Polygraphs Help
✅ Asylum Claims
Applicants can use a polygraph to support:
- Fear of persecution
- Political oppression
- Traumatic experiences
- Past threats or abuse
A truthful polygraph result can support written affidavits or attorney presentations.
✅ Marriage-Based Immigration
Polygraph testing can verify:
- That a marriage is legitimate
- That no immigration fraud has occurred
- That a couple is acting in good faith, especially if facing a Request for Evidence (RFE)
✅ Criminal Allegations or Misstatements
If someone is accused of:
- Past crimes
- Falsifying immigration documents
- Misrepresenting facts in their application
A polygraph can help defend against false accusations.
✅ Human Trafficking or Domestic Abuse Cases
Polygraph exams can be used to:
- Validate a U-Visa or T-Visa application
- Support claims of abuse under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
- Establish the truth when no other evidence is available
What Happens During the Exam?
- Consultation – We review your situation and identify key questions
- Pre-Test Interview – Questions are reviewed and translated if needed
- Sensor Placement – All equipment is safe, non-invasive, and explained

All testing is conducted by a certified APA examiner, fluent in both English and Spanish, with respect and compassion.
Is the Polygraph Admissible in Immigration Court?
Immigration courts generally do not admit polygraph results as direct evidence, but:
- They may accept them as supporting documentation
- Attorneys often use them to strengthen sworn affidavits or testimony
- Judges may review results during discretion-based decisions (such as asylum or cancellation of removal)
Always consult your immigration attorney to determine how best to use polygraph results in your case.
