Relevant filed materials, official notices, payment records and outstanding deadlines should be accounted for under the actual engagement arrangements.
Make unresolved actions visible
Identify what has been submitted and what remains pending. Do not describe a draft or unconfirmed update as completed merely because the file changed hands.
A dated copy of the official page and FAQ as read, a written summary of the fee, gift and family terms on that date, the pending petition's receipt and priority date, and every question put to the official channel with the answer received. A board or committee resolution authorises the expenditure, a signed sponsorship agreement sets out what the company undertakes and for whom, and a payment instruction with its bank confirmation records what actually moved and when. Keep a current official programme record, the applicant’s identity and civil documents, evidence for the underlying immigrant classification, and payment documentation in separate sections. Where a relative’s recollection differs from the paperwork, resolve it against the documents before anything is signed, and keep each person’s notices, identity records and correspondence in a set of their own so one account cannot be copied over another.
