What to verify first

Find the official source for the rule you are relying on and read it in full. Immigration policy, processing times and program criteria change without notice, and a summary written last month can already be out of date.

How to prepare the file

Keep one folder with your status documents, dates, employment and education records, and any previous applications or refusals. Most delays trace back to an inconsistency between two documents rather than to a missing form.

Questions to ask before you file

Ask which rule applies to your situation today, what could cause a refusal, which deadline matters most, and what should be reviewed by a licensed representative before you submit.

Always confirm the current requirements on the official source before acting. This guide is general information, not advice on your file.
