well first and foremost has he added you to his list yet? that process can only be done once every 6 months so he will want to get that in as soon as possible before he has to wait another 6 months...
if he hasn't put you on his list, what he will need is your address as it appears on your license (passport, i am not sure how it works for foreign people but i have seen people bring in their passports), he would need your full name as it appears on your ID. and your ID# which i am thinking would be your passport number..
as far as anything else, you can basically only bring in what you are wearing, no paper, pens, photos, etc. i suggest bringing in a sweater of some sort, even if it's like 90 degrees outside, it can often times be very very cold in the visiting room. you can bring up to $20 in coins in. i suggest bringing the full amount (i sometimes try to sneak in a few extra dollars, especially on photo day as photos are $3 each)...the vending machine food is expensive also
any other questions let me know..i am there every 2-3 months
