Preparing to Meet with Your Immigration Attorney
Looking for A Specific Post? Search Below
When you are facing tricky immigration issues or need to know your options, it is best to consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can advise you and guide you through the process. When you meet with your attorney for an initial consultation, you should prepare beforehand so that you can provide the attorney with all relevant details and get the most out of the consultation. Follow the tips outlined here to prepare.
- Get your story together. Write down, in a chronological order, all the facts and events that have taken place that are relevant to your immigration situation. Be sure to include dates. This will make it much easier for the attorney to understand your case.
- If your attorney has asked you to complete any preliminary forms before your consultation, try to fill out everything to the best of your ability.
- If there is anyone that could be a witness or could help with your case, make a list of their names and contact information to give to your attorney.
- If you have worked previously with someone on an immigration matter, whether it was another attorney or a friend or relative, have their information on hand to provide to the attorney.
- Pull together copies of all the documents that are or might be relevant to your immigration case. Doing this now will save time in the future and make the process a whole lot smoother.
- Let the attorney know about any pending removal or deportation proceeding against you. You should bring copies of any notices relating to the proceeding with you and any other relevant documentation.
- If you have had any previous legal issues such as arrests or convictions, make note of it so that you remember to explain it to the attorney.
- Write down any questions you might have for the attorney about your case so that you do not forget them at the meeting.
- Always be prepared to be truthful and honest with the attorney. Providing complete and truthful information will allow the attorney to properly advise you, and it will mitigate the risk of issues arising later on. Your communication with the attorney will remain confidential.

Brittni Rivera and her team (Carina Lopez) are fantastic! They are responsive, efficient and beyond compassionate. Brittni Rivera and her team treated me with dignity and respect as they patiently answered all of my questions. They didn't move on without making sure I understood each step.

I’m deeply grateful to God for leading us to this law firm; it is a true blessing to work with such professional and passionate individuals. Their dedication and commitment help make a difficult situation far less traumatic. In our case, we received 100% support from Attorney Andrea Ochoa and paralegal Rafael. May God bless them and allow them to continue this wonderful work. Thank you—a thousand thanks.
I give my total recommendation and trust in this great organization that has supported me and my family in very difficult times, especially the lawyer Andrea Ochoa and her paralegal Rafael who were little angels that God has sent us to be able to face all the obstacles that we have had along the way. Thank you very much with all my heart. ❤️
I have heard from several people that Brittni is a great attorney. When my friend was detained, I recommended Brittni to take his case. She did an amazing job putting together all the necessary information, especially given that we had only a couple of days to submit the habeas corpus application. She and her team worked very professionally and provided clear guidance throughout. She stayed in touch consistently and was…
Highly recommend Jennifer Peyton in federal litigations. She’s very polite and experienced.
I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing. From the consultation to the final approval, he gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process. When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
Great service and attention. Felt safe and confident since the first meeting. Couldn't be happier with the results and services. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrea Ochoa and it was a great experience would absolutely reccomend her services
Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case. She always answered our questions shortly and offered clear guidelines to proceed. When my son's case received a notice of intent to deny, she planned how to fight that decision effectively. We totally recommend everyone to trust their case…
I just want to say huge thank you to Mr. Kevin A. Raica. for everything he has done for me throughout my immigration case. When I first came to Kevin, he explained the SIJS process clearly and walked me through the steps. We first needed to get the guardianship court order before moving forward with the I-360, and he connected me with a trusted attorney to help with that part.…
I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to Brittni Rivera! She literally saved my family. We had been waiting seven years for what she accomplished in just three weeks. I was impressed by how accessible the office is—they always answer calls very quickly. A special thank you to paralegal Nataliia Melnyk. You are my heroes. Thank you.
