What it does

Immigration Document Checklist is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Organise the document pile for a visa, work-permit, or residency application — what to gather, in what order, and the common rejection triggers to avoid. Use when asked to help with a visa application, build an immigration document checklist, prepare paperwork for a work permit or green card, or organise what an application needs. Produces the categorised document checklist, the gather-in-this-order plan, the common-mistake/rejection-trigger list, and the professional-help flags. Organises the paperwork…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to help with a visa application
  • Build an immigration document checklist
  • Prepare paperwork for a work permit
  • Organise what an application needs

Example prompts

  • “/immigration-document-checklist”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Work from the official list. The authority's own requirements are the source of truth; this organises them, it doesn't invent them.
  2. Slow items first. Police certificates, apostilles, and certified translations take weeks — start them before the fast ones, or they'll…
  3. Consistency is scrutinised. Name spelling, dates, and addresses must match across every document — mismatches read as fraud.
  4. Format matters. Certified translations, notarisation, and specific photo/format specs are common rejection points.
  5. Know when to escalate. A prior refusal, a criminal record, or a complex case is lawyer territory — flag it.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Immigration Document Checklist loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 146 tokens; SKILL.md has 562 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~146
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Organise the document pile for a visa, work-permit, or residency application — what to gather, in what order, and the common rejection triggers to avoid. Use when asked to help with a visa application, build an immigration document checklist, prepare paperwork for a work permit or green card, or organise what an application needs. Produces the categorised document checklist, the gather-in-this-order plan, the common-mistake/rejection-trigger list, and the professional-help flags. Organises the paperwork; complements the visa-interview simulator.

Immigration Document Checklist

Immigration applications are rejected more often for a missing translation or an inconsistent date than for the actual merits — and the sheer document pile is where people freeze. This turns it into an ordered, categorised checklist: what's required, what proves each thing, the order that avoids expiry problems, and the small mistakes that trigger rejections — so the paperwork stops being the obstacle.

Not legal advice. Immigration rules are country- and case-specific and change often — this organises the process and flags where an immigration lawyer is needed; always verify requirements against the official source for your case.

What This Skill Produces

  • The categorised checklist — identity, financial, employment, relationship, medical, legal — with what document satisfies each
  • The gather order — what to request first (slow items like police certificates, apostilles, translations) so nothing expires waiting
  • The rejection-trigger list — the common avoidable mistakes (inconsistent names/dates, expired docs, missing translations, wrong format)
  • Professional-help flags — where a lawyer is worth it (prior refusals, complex history, tight timelines)

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The application — visa/permit type, destination country, and your citizenship
  • Your situation — employment, family/relationship basis, prior applications or refusals, current status
  • Timeline — any deadline (job start, expiry of current status)
  • The official checklist — if you have the authority's requirement list, feed it (this organises against the real source, not a guess)

Framework: Paperwork That Doesn't Get Rejected

  1. Work from the official list. The authority's own requirements are the source of truth; this organises them, it doesn't invent them.
  2. Slow items first. Police certificates, apostilles, and certified translations take weeks — start them before the fast ones, or they'll expire the others while you wait.
  3. Consistency is scrutinised. Name spelling, dates, and addresses must match across every document — mismatches read as fraud.
  4. Format matters. Certified translations, notarisation, and specific photo/format specs are common rejection points.
  5. Know when to escalate. A prior refusal, a criminal record, or a complex case is lawyer territory — flag it.

Quality Checks

  • The checklist is framed as organising the official list, not a substitute for it
  • Slow-to-obtain items are surfaced to start first
  • Consistency (names/dates across documents) is called out
  • Translation/certification/format requirements are noted per document
  • Escalation to a lawyer is flagged for complex/refused cases
  • No country-specific legal requirement is asserted as fact without pointing to the official source

Anti-Patterns

  • Inventing the requirements instead of organising the authority's real list.
  • Alphabetical or random order that leaves slow items (police certs, apostilles) too late.
  • Ignoring consistency — a mismatched date sinks a strong case.
  • Treating a complex/refused case as DIY — flag the lawyer.
  • False reassurance — this reduces the anxiety by organising it, not by guaranteeing an outcome.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Build a document checklist for my work visa application."
  • "Help me organise the paperwork for a green card."
  • "What do I need to gather for this residency application, and in what order?"
  • "Prepare my immigration documents and flag the common rejection mistakes."
