Attorney review

Small record gaps can become expensive RFEs. A structured review can identify what should be fixed or explained before submission.

Evidence usually starts with ownership and control

Corporate registrations, shareholder records, operating agreements, organization charts, tax records, annual reports, and board documents may be needed to show how the entities are legally connected.

Doing business matters

USCIS often wants more than a paper company. Contracts, payroll, invoices, leases, bank activity, and staffing records can help show the foreign and U.S. operations are active businesses.

Weak records should be fixed before filing

If names, addresses, ownership percentages, or translations do not line up, the case may invite requests for evidence. A pre-filing review can identify gaps early.

Next step: If the business structure, foreign employment history, or U.S. job duties are not clean on paper, consider a pre-filing EB-1C strategy review before preparing the I-140 package.
