Keep the actual official instruction and matching payment evidence. Identify the applicant and case concerned.
Preserve the connection
A bank receipt without context does not establish every immigration condition or decision.
Collect identity and family relationship records, a clear description of the specific proposal under consideration, and any open questions about eligibility, funding and the current official instructions, then follow the government's stated next steps for forms and evidence. Identity and civil documents for every intended applicant, a full immigration and travel history, records addressing any admissibility question, and a written confirmation of the current programme terms taken from official sources on that date. 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. Use a fact-based sequence: verify current official terms, evaluate underlying EB-1 or EB-2 eligibility, assemble vetting and identity material, follow the authorized payment instructions, and wait for the relevant government stages. Each person's folder holds their own identity and civil documents, the official instructions as published on the day that person acted, their vetting correspondence, their own payment receipts, and a short list of the relatives they intend to bring. The official USCIS instructions govern the supporting documents required in the case; these preparatory records help explain the actual funding arrangement rather than constitute a universal mandatory checklist.
