Which documents should I carry for the transfer stage?

The required travel packet depends on the chosen individual or blanket process and any visa requirement. Confirm the current instructions and keep the relevant petition documents, identity records and employment evidence organized.

Prepare for each procedural step

A company approval notice may not be the only document needed to establish the individual’s eligibility. Dependents need their own identity and relationship materials and applicable visa or status documentation. Use counsel’s route-specific checklist rather than a universal border packet.

After entry, retrieve and verify admission records promptly, preserving them separately from the petition and visa documents for future status planning. Give the household its own document set rather than a copy of the employer file. Each family member needs identity and relationship materials and the applicable visa or status documentation, and those are the papers a spouse will be asked for at an appointment or a border while the principal is elsewhere.

Use route-specific instructions rather than a general packet assembled from another family experience. After entry, retrieve and check every admission record promptly and keep them separately from the petition and visa documents, because the admission record is what later status planning is built on and it is the one most easily lost among transaction paperwork.
