Use the actual immigrant admission or adjustment approval evidence. A flight receipt or project meeting record does not establish that immigration event.
Keep the case chronology precise
Record the relevant status event and preserve supporting documents. Investment and petition dates belong in the history but do not themselves start conditional residence or the ordinary I-829 anniversary calculation.
Start with the borrowing: provide the commitment letter and signed loan agreement, the bank's disbursement advice, statements showing the proceeds arrive in the investor's account, the currency-conversion receipt, and the transfer to the regional center's escrow or the new commercial enterprise. A signed gift instrument stating the amount, the date and that no repayment is expected; evidence of how the donor earned or acquired the funds, such as tax records, employment documents, corporate accounts or sale contracts; and bank statements showing the money leaving their account. Request the regional center's legal name and designation details, the project's offering documents, the escrow or subscription terms, the economic analysis behind the job projections, and disclosure of any litigation, enforcement action, or sponsor change.
