Obtain the complete sponsorship and employment terms and the official instructions they rely on. Identify the parties responsible for payments and subsequent required information.
Ask what happens if circumstances change
Have contractual obligations reviewed separately from the government framework. The official corporate transfer provisions do not automatically explain every employment consequence for the individual. Keep the versions dated and avoid relying only on an informal summary of what the sponsor says the process will provide.
Identity and travel documents, a complete personal history sufficient for background vetting, evidence of the lawful source of the funds to be gifted, and a preliminary assessment of EB-1 or EB-2 eligibility. Identity and family relationship records, a clear statement of the exact proposal under consideration, and specific questions about eligibility, funding, and the currently posted official instructions. Each employee gets a folder opening with identity and civil documents, meaning passport, birth record, marriage or divorce records and any prior names, followed by the evidence supporting their underlying EB-1 or EB-2 classification, their vetting correspondence, and their own payment receipts. The first review should identify what a document proves: a passport establishes identity and nationality; a payment receipt may establish that a required amount was transmitted; achievement records may support an EB-1 or EB-2 theory.
