From Rumana J & Associates · Consultation preparation guide
A practical way to organise your information before speaking with an immigration lawyer.
Keep your information together
Prepare your passport details, current visa information and any correspondence relevant to your enquiry. Include full decision letters or notices rather than isolated screenshots where possible.
Explain your journey in order
A short timeline can help the lawyer understand your previous applications, travel and current position. Record dates as accurately as you can and flag anything you need to check.
Be clear about your goals
Explain what you are hoping to discuss, whether it relates to study, work, family or a decision you have received. The lawyer will need to consider your individual circumstances before discussing potential options.
Keep sensitive documents private
Confirm the firm’s preferred secure document-sharing method. Avoid sending identity documents or detailed personal material through social media or an initial website enquiry.
