The Immigration Appointment Prep Sheet

What Your Attorney Needs You to Have Ready

Your story is the most important thing you can bring. This is how you prepare it.

This is for:

For the immigrant or person with complex immigration status preparing for an appointment with an immigration attorney or official who needs to arrive organized, with the right documents and a clear account of their situation.

You'll produce:your Your Immigration Prep Sheet

The Name It First Experience

An immigration appointment is not the time to be discovering what you should have brought or how to explain your situation. Attorneys and officials work from what you give them — and what you give them determines the quality of what comes next. This prep sheet walks you through everything that needs to be organized before you walk in: the timeline of your situation, the documentation you have, the questions you need answered, and the clear account your attorney needs to represent you effectively. The output is not a document checklist. It is The Immigration Appointment Prep Sheet Agreement — your case, organized, in your hand.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What is the most important thing your attorney needs to understand about your situation?
  2. What documents do you have, and which ones are you unsure how to explain?
  3. What question are you most afraid to be asked, and what is your honest answer?
