What to Bring to Your First Immigration Consultation
A good first consultation sets the tone for everything that follows. A little preparation helps us spend the time on what matters most: understanding your goals and mapping the paths that fit. Here is a short, practical checklist.
Bring a clear sense of your goal
You do not need to know which visa or petition you want — that is what we figure out together. But it helps to be able to describe where you want to be: working in a particular field, reuniting with family, building a business, or securing protection.
Gather the basics
If you have them handy, it helps to have:
- Your immigration history — current status, prior applications, and any past filings
- Key dates — entries, departures, and the expiration of any current status
- Documents — passports, prior approval notices, and any correspondence from immigration authorities
- Background details — education, work history, and notable achievements in your field
Write down your questions
Bring the questions that are on your mind. There is no such thing as a question that is too basic — clarity is the whole point of the consultation.
What to expect
We will review your goals and history together, outline the immigration paths that fit your situation, and leave you with clear next steps. Consultations are $200 for 30 minutes and are held online.
