Preserve the authentic record and explain the link. Do not alter historic evidence or present a newly created version as the original.
Maintain identity continuity
Use genuine change records or other requested evidence appropriate to the actual issue. Keep translations tied to their originals and identify the person consistently in the explanation. If a document cannot be obtained, follow the applicable request and advice rather than inventing a substitute that the government has supposedly approved.
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. Identity and civil documents for every intended applicant, a complete personal history for vetting, evidence supporting whichever underlying immigrant classification is contemplated, and documentation of the funds. The official program instructions current on that date, written identification of who receives each payment and under what conditions, a per-person breakdown for the household, and a statement of what happens to any payment if the application is refused or withdrawn. Build a dated review file around dated official instructions, identity records, civil-status documents, payment-source records, payer authority, and proof of the completed transfer.
