Identify whether they concern different periods, different tasks or an unresolved discrepancy. Preserve genuine records and clarify the actual proposed U.S. role.
Do not rewrite the history
The general foreign role need not always match the U.S. role, but the actual facts must be accurate.
Primary corporate records rather than descriptions: share registers or certificates for both entities, the executed purchase agreement with its closing documents, director resolutions, and financial statements or contracts showing each company actively trading. Separate the foreign job into dated phases and prove each with contemporaneous material: employment agreements, payroll, performance reviews, organization charts, budgets, approvals, calendars, and records showing who performed daily operations. Ask for four things in one request, so the company assembles them together: the current and proposed organisational charts, the approval or delegation matrix, the transition memorandum with its effective dates, and the payroll records covering the qualifying year abroad. Ingrid's file therefore needs evidence of actual operations on both sides of the border: invoices issued and paid, contracts performed, payroll records, insurance in force on operating equipment, and tax filings that show revenue rather than nil returns.
