Select relevant training, process and personal work examples that show what the applicant knows and applies. Explain technical terms and the employee’s actual contribution.
Use records to clarify a decision rather than overwhelm
Identify the purpose and date of each example and handle sensitive information appropriately. A stack of unexplained production records does not automatically demonstrate the applicant’s knowledge or its relevance to U.S. duties.
Dated artifacts from the company's own systems: version-control histories, design specifications, patent or invention records, validated procedures, training materials and internal staffing data. Use travel evidence only to place the employee at an assignment; pair it with dated work orders, technical reports, access logs, correspondence and supervisor explanations showing what was actually learned or performed. Corporate records may establish the qualifying relationship and active operations, but the worker needs an individual chronology of foreign employment, training, system access, projects, authored materials and problem-solving. Gather original job descriptions, payroll entries, training certificates, project assignments, product documentation, and manager statements explaining which duties continued after reclassification and which were added.
