TPS has ended for Haiti — and in Ohio, hundreds are ordered to report to ICE; many get ankle monitors. A monitor is NOT a deportation order. Got a letter? See a lawyer BEFORE the date. Report ICE: 1-888-600-5762. Always confirm on the official USCIS page, never social media. See what changed →

My immigration case history

Who this sheet is for

These are the questions a lawyer asks first. Write the answers down once, print the sheet, and bring it to your appointment. It takes about fifteen minutes.

What this sheet does

  • It holds the facts a lawyer asks for first: your A-Number, when and how you entered, asylum, TPS, your work permit, and any removal order.
  • You fill in only what you know. Every question can be left blank — a blank is always better than a guess.
  • It prints on one page you can hand to a lawyer or a legal-aid worker.
  • It answers questions about your case. It is not a document to carry, and never a document for ICE.

Everything you type stays on this phone or computer. Nothing is sent to us — we never see it.

By default nothing is saved. If you choose Save on this device, it stays only on this device.

This sheet is for your lawyer

This sheet is for YOUR LAWYER. Never show it or give it to ICE. Do not carry it with you — bring it to legal appointments only. Keep it where you keep your other important papers, and tell one person you trust where it is.

Who I am and my A-Number

Both are optional. Leave anything blank that you are not sure about.

Who I am and my A-Number

Use the name written on your immigration papers, if that is different from the name you use every day.

My A-Number optional

It starts with “A” on your immigration papers. Leave blank if you don’t know it.

How I came to the United States

When I came to the United States
Have I entered more than once?
How I entered the last time

Your lawyer needs the honest answer — it changes which options you have. This page never leaves your hands.

Asylum and TPS

Asylum
Did I apply for asylum?
If yes, where?
TPS
Did I apply for TPS?
Did I receive TPS?

TPS for Haiti and Syria was terminated effective July 27, 2026, and TPS work permits expired the same day. Your documents may show an earlier printed date.

My work permit

Work permit
Do I have a work permit?
If yes, what is it based on?

A removal order, and anything else

Removal or deportation order
Do I have a removal or deportation order on record?

If you’re not sure, your lawyer can check. “Not sure” is a fine answer.

What is on your sheet

Anything you left blank stays a blank line — you can fill it in by hand after you print. A blank is always better than a guess.

Tip: set your printer to “Fit to page.” Erasing removes everything you typed, including anything saved on this device, and takes you back to the first step.

Nothing is saved. This sheet will disappear when you close the page.

Why this helps

A first meeting with a lawyer usually starts with these same questions. When the answers are already written down, that hour goes to your options instead of to rebuilding dates from memory. Fill in what you know, leave the rest blank, and bring it with you. A blank is always better than a guess.

Losing TPS is not a deportation order

TPS for Haiti and Syria was terminated effective July 27, 2026, and TPS work permits expired the same day. That is not an automatic deportation order. Removal requires a legal process, and in that process you have rights. Know your rights if ICE comes →

General information, not legal advice. This sheet organizes your own facts so you can hand them to a professional. Only a licensed immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative can tell you what your options are — free and low-cost legal help is here.
