Information Pertinent to Your Case
Extensive information is not needed for your first appointment with Ms. Flynn, whether by telephone or in the office. The following is a summary of what will be needed.
First,
Ms. Flynn will need to know your immigration status, whether
legal or non-legal, in the United States. Relevant pages from passports
and INS documents, if available to you, will be necessary to know the
way you last entered the United States, the date of your last entry, and
your INS history.
Second, Ms. Flynn will need information potentially relevant
to whatever work you feel she might be able to accomplish for you.
For a potential employment-based visa petition, a synopsis of your educational
and/or employment history will be useful. If already prepared, your resume
will also be useful, but do not prepare one simply for this purpose.
For a potential family-based visa petition, it will be useful for Ms.
Flynn to know that you are very closely related (or potentially very closely
related) to a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident parent, spouse, or child.
Asylum cases and investor cases can be more complicated. You should not
worry about supplying documentary information for the first conference,
but send or bring whatever you consider especially
pertinent.
Primarily, you do not need to be extremely concerned
about providing Ms. Flynn with information you do not already have. The
purpose of a first consultation is to simply determine from basic information
that is already at your disposal what benefits to which you might potentially
be entitled under immigration and nationality law.
