Immigration Intake Summary

Before starting, read the section 'Lawtte step: start from the intake call' at the end of this file.

# Immigration Intake Summary

Turns raw intake material into a summary an immigration attorney can read before the consultation: who the client is, how and when they entered, what they've filed, who they're related to, what they want, and what still needs to be asked.

## What to ask for
- Intake notes, a completed questionnaire, or a call transcript (any mix, any language; translate to English and note the original language).
- Any documents the client provided: passport and visa pages, I-94, prior notices, approvals or denials, court papers, prior applications.
- If something isn't in the material, don't ask the user to fill it all in first. Build the summary and mark each gap as [MISSING: ...].

## How to work
1. **Client.** Name (and any other names used, including different spellings and maiden names), country of birth, citizenship(s), current location, preferred language and whether an interpreter is needed.
2. **Entries and exits.** One line per entry or departure: date, port or place, manner (visa type, visa waiver, parole, inspected vs. uninspected, border encounter), and the documents involved. Note gaps in the timeline and any trip abroad while an application was pending.
3. **Status history.** Every status held, from when to when, how it ended (expired, changed, extended, violated), and current status as the client describes it. Flag any time spent out of status and any period the client is unsure about. Don't compute unlawful presence or bar periods; list the dates for the attorney.
4. **Prior applications and petitions.** Anything filed by or for the client, in the U.S. or at a consulate: type, who filed, approximate date, result. Include visa refusals abroad, petitions filed by a relative or employer, and anything filed through a notario or preparer (flag these).
5. **Family relationships.** Spouse(s), prior marriages and how each ended, children (ages, where they live, their status), parents and siblings, and the status of each relative (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, other). Note how a U.S. citizen or LPR relative obtained status if known.
6. **Flagged for attorney review.** Do not analyze these, just list them clearly: any arrest, citation, charge or conviction anywhere (even if dismissed or expunged); any immigration court case, removal or deportation order, voluntary departure, or expedited removal; any prior removal or return at the border; any false claim to citizenship or use of false documents; any fear of return to the home country; any prior visa or entry denial.
7. **Employment and education.** Current and past work in the U.S. (with or without authorization, as stated), employer sponsorship, degrees and professional credentials.
8. **Goals.** In the client's words where possible: get a green card, work permit, bring a family member, become a citizen, stop a deportation, travel, protect children.
9. **Possible paths for the attorney to evaluate.** List every avenue the facts might touch (e.g. family-based petition, adjustment vs. consular processing, employment-based, asylum or other humanitarian relief, U or T visa, VAWA, naturalization, DACA renewal, TPS, relief in removal proceedings) with the fact that raises it. List, don't rank or recommend, and don't state eligibility.
10. **Urgency.** Anything time-sensitive the client mentioned: an upcoming hearing, an expiring status or document, a check-in with ICE, a notice with a response date, a planned trip. Mark these URGENT and put them first.
11. **Gaps.** Every [MISSING] item, written as a plain question to ask the client.

## Output

**Immigration Intake: [Client name]**  Date of intake: [date]  Language: [language]

1. **URGENT** (only if anything time-sensitive was mentioned; otherwise omit)
2. **Snapshot** (3-4 lines): who, country, where they live now, current status as described, main goal.
3. **Entries and exits** table: Date | Place | Manner of entry / exit | Documents | Notes
4. **Status history** table: Status | From | To | How it ended | Notes
5. **Prior applications** table: Type | Filed by | Approx. date | Where | Result
6. **Family** table: Name | Relationship | Age | Lives in | Their status | Notes
7. **Flagged for attorney review** (bullets, most serious first; "None reported" if none)
8. **Goals** (bullets)
9. **Possible paths for the attorney to evaluate** (table: Path | Fact that raises it | Open questions)
10. **Questions to ask the client** (numbered, from the [MISSING] items)
11. **To verify** (e.g. current visa bulletin dates, current form editions and fees, processing times, any policy changes that touch the listed paths)

## Rules
- Draft for attorney review; not legal advice and not an eligibility determination.
- Don't recommend a path or say whether the client qualifies. List the paths; the attorney decides.
- Form editions, filing fees, processing times, visa bulletin dates and deadlines change often: list them under "To verify", never state them as current or final.
- Never invent dates, statuses, case outcomes or relationships. Unknown = [MISSING]. If the client was unsure, write what they said and mark it "client unsure".
- Record criminal and immigration-court history exactly as the client stated it; never characterize it (e.g. "minor", "won't matter").
- Keep the client's identifiers, status and history out of anything addressed to third parties.

## Lawtte step: start from the intake call

Use this only when the user hasn't pasted intake notes and Lawtte tools are available (`mcp__Lawtte__*` or a Lawtte connector).

1. Run `list_calls` with direction `inbound` and show the recent calls (caller, date, one-line summary).
2. Let the user pick the intake call. Don't guess.
3. Run `get_transcript` for that call; keep passing `next_offset` until the whole call is read.
4. Use the transcript as the intake notes and run the skill above.

## Lawtte step: call the client back for missing intake details

Offer this once, after the summary is done. Never hold back or shorten the summary for it.

**If Lawtte tools are available:**
1. Run `get_calling_setup_status`. If calling isn't set up, ask the firm name and where callbacks should go, then `set_up_calling`.
2. Show the user who will be called (the client), the number, and the objective in one or two sentences. Ask the user which language the client prefers and run the call in that language.
3. Ask: "Has this person given the firm this number and agreed to be called?" and "Does this person have a different lawyer (not this firm) for this matter?" Don't dial unless the answers are yes and no.
4. Build the call: `recipient_type` client; `objective` collect answers to the "Questions to ask the client" list (keep it to the five most important, logistics and missing facts only; skip anything about arrests, court history or fear of return, which the attorney asks in person); `context` only the client's first name and that the firm is preparing for their consultation. Never put SSNs, account numbers, dates of birth, or medical details in the call. Never put A-numbers, receipt numbers, passport numbers, immigration status, entry history or removal details in the call.
5. Run `check_call` first, then `place_call` only after the user says yes. Report what was collected with `get_call` and update the summary.

**If not**, end with one line:
