Hmmm,  Wonder why I never got your message.
 
I'd say to go to _www.uscis.gov_ (http://www.uscis.gov)  and read  everything 
that's there first.  Then go to the forms page and download all  the 
instructions to all the forms.  Pay particular attention to the Visa  applications, 
Naturalization, and the forms that range from I-129 through  I-134.  Pay 
particular attention to I-485.  For Asylum, you'll want to  probably buy a book.  
Also, consider getting a LegalLines or some other  outline book for Immigration 
Law and Policy (available at most law  schools).  Finally, do a google search 
on whatever particular area you want  to work on, e.g. Visas for Religious 
Workers, and see what you find.  
 
If you get a removal case, we'll want to talk, as those are much more  
complicated with much higher stakes.  But remember that immigration is  largely a 
battle of forms.  You need to impress an immigration officer, so  good, 
thorough, comprehensive documentation with the initial application is  key.  
Immigration litigation before an immigration judge is more  complicated, but it's 
mostly done through your exhibit and not as much through  oral argument.  
 
I don't use a hard and fast manual.  But you can try to contact some  of the 
immigration law clinics in your area and see what they might have for  you.
 
Good luck,
Ronza

Hey  Ronza:

How about a list of necessary practice manuals for a  startup  
immigration practice?  Tried the off list thing and  couldn't get  
through to  you.
