What to prepare before your first conversation with AFG
A first conversation works best when AFG understands your goals and current situation. You do not need a complete set of documents to start.
Key takeaways
- Prepare information based on the service you are interested in.
- Preliminary details are enough; full documentation is not needed upfront.
- Your goal and preferred timeline are the two most useful details.
- You do not need to send sensitive data such as passport numbers or SSN at this stage.
If you are interested in L-1
- Where the company operates.
- Main industry.
- How long it has been operating.
- Ownership — the current ownership structure.
- Plans in the United States.
- The person intended to relocate.
- That person's current role.
- Their intended role in the United States.
These details keep the conversation focused on your business context rather than general questions.
If you are interested in Study / I-20
- Whether you are in Vietnam or the United States.
- Your current status if you are in the U.S.
- The field you want to study.
- Your current level and English ability.
- Estimated budget.
- Preferred start date.
If you are interested in group tours
- Expected number of travellers.
- Preferred departure timing.
- Destinations of interest.
- Number of days.
- Purpose of the trip.
- Preliminary budget.
How the first conversation usually goes
AFG starts by listening to your goals, then reviews the information you provide and outlines the next steps worth exploring. Where something is unclear, AFG will say what additional information is needed rather than drawing early conclusions.
You can speak in Vietnamese or English, whichever is more comfortable for you.
