Give an idea or some action that can set the scene well for your essay. Then you can intertwine the introducing in that.
You can also use a quote,
a hook,
a lead,
or a fun fact to start yourself off.
Or you can state your thesis in a way that is interesting

If he told you about a few situations he ran into while immigrating... use one as an opening... For instance.. Start off by narrating breifly about the experience and then start the essay.. I.e.... "I can remember the many obstacles we crossed coming here. Some nights we had to sleep where ever and it was very uncomfortable. I can remember running in fear from whoever so that I wouldn't be caught." said Mr. Blah as he recounted the details of his trip to get here during our interview. Then you could go into the essay.. "Immigration is... whatever..." I hope that helps...

First, talk about immigration to America in general. For example, say that the number of immigrants to American has been increasing in recent years. Then state that immigration is a difficult journey that requires a great deal of sacrifice. Immigrants take a great deal of risk in the hope that they will be able to create a better life in this country. After you've mentioned this, introuduce the person you interviewed and go from there. Maybe have your thesis say something about how Mr. Whoever's life reflects the difficult struggles immigrants have to endure in coming to this country.
Hope this makes sense and helps

Begin your essay with the reason you interviewed him. Why is his immigration experience relevant to you? What did you hope to discover? What do you want to get across? These are the things you state in the beginning.
Later,
Don't state that you interviewed so and so. Just include things you learned and quotes of noteworthy things he said. Include descriptions of his behaviour when he speaks, walks, etc as well as physical descriptions. Make sure your descriptions lend insight to your perspective.

It rather depends on the form and structure of your essay, luv, but if you're merely reporting the results of the conversation, you might begin with "I interviewed Mr. Blah BlahBlah, who immigrated to the United States from the planet Mars fifteen years ago. I began by asking him about his attractive antennae."
Or some such.

A good way might be to have the Title of your Essay be:
The Immigration of __________.
Mr. _______ traveled here from _________. It was a very interesting experience which he would like me to share with you.

yes, you should introduce him first and then write a thesis on what you are going to be talking about. I think introduction doesn't have to be long....hope this will help....good luck on your paper..

Bom Dia,
estou escrevendo em português, caso não entenda o que eu escrevi, peço para usar um tradutor. Português- Inglês. ok?!
se eu entendi direito, você entrevistou um amigo de seu pai. Sobre os problemas da imigração, porém você não sabe como começar a escrever?
eu não sei o que significa " essay". Mas provavelmente é uma notÃcia. Eu não sei qual o seu ponto de vista sobre a imigração, vai ser um texto imparcial?
acredito que você deva começar a escrever sobre o que te levou a fazer,ou a escrever sobre este assunto, depois colocaria a entrevista como um suporte para os seus argumentos.
As experiencias de imigração são interessantissimas.. com certeza você vai se sair bem...
