Gather passports, visa records, I-94 admission records, approval notices, work authorization and relevant prior applications. Include travel and employment history so counsel can evaluate the proposed immigrant route against the actual status record.
Organize status by person and date
List each admission, change or extension and identify any uncertainty about authorized activity or stay. Keep this file separate from the investment records but review both together before filing decisions. A current visa label alone may omit facts that affect adjustment, travel or continued work.
Promptly add new notices or employment changes to the chronology. Build the status chronology to a standard that would let a stranger identify any gap. List each admission, change or extension with its dates, and mark explicitly every point where the authorized activity or the authorized stay is uncertain, since an unmarked uncertainty reads as a settled fact.
Gather passports, visa records, admission records, approval notices, work authorization and relevant prior applications, along with travel and employment history. Keep this file separate from the investment records and review the two together before any filing decision. A current visa label may omit facts affecting adjustment, travel or continued work, so it is a starting point rather than a summary.
Add new notices and employment changes as they occur.
