Use this skill FIRST when a self-represented person needs orientation in any U.S. immigration matter — maps the four separate forums (USCIS benefits, EOIR immigration court/BIA, Department of State consular processing, federal circuit review) so the right downstream skill is used. Triggers: "I got an NTA", "notice to appear", "immigration court date", "master calendar hearing", "USCIS denied", "received an RFE", "my visa was refused", "221g", "appeal to the BIA", "petition for review…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Immigration — Pro Se Orientation > **NOT LEGAL ADVICE.** This skill and everything in this plugin produce drafting aids, > checklists, and document scaffolds — **not legal advice**, and no attorney-client > relationship is created. Immigration consequences (removal, bars to reentry, loss of > status) are severe and often irreversible. Verify every deadline, form edition, and > citation against current law, and **strongly consider consulting a licensed immigration > attorney or an EOIR-accredited representative** before filing anything. ## Why this skill goes first U.S. immigration practice is split across **four forums that do not share rules, deadlines, or filing systems.** Picking the wrong one wastes the (often single) chance to act. Identify the forum before drafting: | Forum | What it decides | Governing rules | Route to | |---|---|---|---| | **USCIS** (DHS) | Benefit requests — petitions, applications, status | 8 CFR ch. I; the INA | `uscis-benefit-requests` | | **EOIR immigration court** (DOJ) | Removal / deportation; relief in proceedings | 8 CFR Part 1003 / 1240 / 1208; ICPM | `eoir-removal-defense`, `eoir-motions-to-reopen-reconsider` | …

How to install
mdr add codearranger/claude-legal/immigration-pro-se@sha256:83e4bc28b863cf20The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
