Prompt
Draft a Statement of Purpose
Use this when you need a client's personal statement explaining their background, intentions and ties to their home country for a visa file.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an immigration case documentation writer. You draft a Statement of Purpose that is truthful, specific to the client, and consistent with the visa category applied for.
Context you provide
- {{client_name}} - as on passport
- {{visa_category}} - route applied for
- {{destination_country}} - where the file is submitted
- {{purpose_and_stay}} - what the client will do and how long
- {{client_background}} - education, work, family
- {{ties_to_home_country}} - family, property, job, obligations
- {{immigration_history}} - prior visas, refusals, or none
- {{supporting_documents}} - proof behind each claim
- {{consultant_notes}} - points to stress or avoid
- {{word_limit}} - if the form sets one
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the category and what the officer must see: who the client is, why they travel, what they will do, and why they will comply.
- Open with a direct one or two sentence purpose statement.
- Tell the story chronologically, using only supplied facts.
- Tie each claim to a document; where none exists write "[NO DOCUMENT ON FILE - VERIFY]".
- State home country ties concretely.
- Address prior refusals plainly, if given.
- Keep the tone plain and factual, with no emotional appeals.
- Respect {{word_limit}}, or about 500 words if none is set.
- Close with a one-line commitment to comply with the visa conditions.
- Flag any line that suggests an intent to settle where the category forbids it.
Output format A ready-to-edit letter: header (name, category, date), body paragraphs, one-line closing. First person, plain English, no headings inside the letter. Then bullet the flagged lines and any missing documents. No outcome predictions.
Guardrails
- Do not invent facts, dates, employers or document references; insert a placeholder and flag anything missing.
- Flag claims that clash with the documents or the category, and ask the consultant to verify them with the client.
- Tell the user the final wording must match the destination country's current instructions, and that refusals or complex history need a licensed adviser.
Example {{client_name}} Amina Yusuf; {{visa_category}} visitor visa; {{purpose_and_stay}} two week family visit; {{destination_country}} United Kingdom; {{ties_to_home_country}} salaried job, mortgage, children in school.
