Retain official instructions, submissions, receipts and communications, with dates and the person concerned. Keep adviser notes distinguishable from government notices.
Make the next requirement identifiable
For each request, record what is needed and which authority or organization issued it. Do not assume an earlier investor checklist replaces current instructions. Raise unclear requirements for appropriate review before responding.
Identity and family information, a precise description of the actual proposal, and specific questions about eligibility and funding, followed by whatever USCIS forms and evidence the official instructions require after the initial step. The current official description with the date retrieved, the older copy for comparison, any material an intermediary has provided, and the documents describing your own background and business — the material an employment-based category would be assessed on. Identity and immigration-history records for both spouses, evidence of the lawful origin of the funds for the gift and fee, marriage and birth certificates for any dependants, and a dated copy of the official program terms. If a government notice later states a birth place or classification you believe is wrong, investigate the conflict and respond through the official channel rather than repeating information you know to be inaccurate.
