A focused consultation can help you explain your situation and identify possible next steps. Before the meeting, write a brief timeline with important dates, entries and exits, applications, notices, interviews, court dates, and prior decisions. Bring copies of documents you already have, such as immigration notices, passports, prior filings, and court paperwork.
Make a list of your questions and mention any upcoming deadline at the beginning of the meeting. Be accurate and tell the attorney about prior applications, arrests, or immigration proceedings, even if you are unsure whether they matter.
Do not email sensitive documents or send detailed personal information through a public website form. A consultation does not guarantee that the firm can take your case. The attorney will need to review your facts and explain whether the firm may be able to assist.
