# Immigration Case Summary Summarizes an immigration matter into a scan-ready brief of facts, law, posture, and outcome. ## Prerequisites Before starting, confirm availability of: - Complete case file (filings, notices, decisions, transcripts, correspondence) - Benefit/relief type (asylum, AOS, family-based, removal defense, appeal) - Forum(s) (USCIS, EOIR/IJ, BIA, federal circuit, or mixed) - Key dates (filing, RFE/NOID, interview/hearing, decisions, appeal deadlines) - Confidentiality scope (redactions, sensitivity flags for trauma/medical/minors) ## Workflow 1. Identify benefit/relief and governing authority from the record 2. Extract applicant background and eligibility elements with cited evidence 3. Build chronological procedural timeline with agency/court actions 4. State current posture and deadlines; note risks and open items 5. Flag missing records or conflicts ## Output Template ``` ## Matter Snapshot | Field | Value | |---|---| | Client/Applicant | | | Country of Origin | | | A-Number / USCIS Receipt(s) | | | Benefit/Relief Sought | | | Forum(s) | | | Counsel of Record | | | Current Posture | | | Last Updated | | ## Applicant Background - Immigration history (entries, status changes, overstays): - Family relationships (petitioner/beneficiary, derivatives): - Employment/education: - Relevant vulnerabilities or equities: - Adverse factors (criminal, fraud, removability grounds): ## Legal Basis - Statute/Regulation/Policy: exact INA/CFR/PM citations from record - Eligibility elements: map each element to evidence - Discretionary factors (if applicable): ## Evidence Inventory | Element / Issue | Key Evidence | Gaps | |---|---|---| ## Procedural History | Date | Event | Forum | Outcome / Notes | |---|---|---|---| ## Decisions & Outcomes - Decision(s): approvals/denials/termination/remand with dates - Grounds for decision (quote or summarize from decision) - Appeal/motion status and deadlines ## Key Issues / Risks - Inconsistencies or adverse evidence: - Statutory bars or procedural defects: - Credibility concerns or corroboration gaps: ## Next Steps - Required filings and deadlines: - Evidence to obtain: - Strategy notes: ``` ## Pitfalls - **Never invent citations.** Mark uncertain legal citations as `[VERIFY]`. - **Distinguish forum standards.** USCIS, EOIR, BIA, and circuit courts apply different standards — note which applies. - **Capture RFE/NOID/NTA details verbatim** when critical to posture. - **Flag record conflicts** — cite both sources; do not resolve silently. - **Maintain confidentiality** — omit sensitive details unless required for analysis.
