What corporate records should my employer produce to show the sponsorship is genuine?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Expect documents that establish who signed for the company and that the employment relationship is real: authority to bind the entity, the offer or employment agreement, and the corporate resolutions behind the payment decision. Follow the USCIS instructions issued for your case rather than a generic list, and file through the official portal.

Authority to sign, and proof the job exists

For a hypothetical Ohio robotics company, retain evidence of the signatory’s authority and the actual proposed employment arrangement. A newly created position should be described accurately rather than presented as an established job. Review the corporate evidence requested in your case before submission; missing required records can lead to further evidence requests or refusal.

Identity and family records, the complete history of the fleet sale and contract assignments with bank records, any prior U.S. immigration or legal history, and a dated copy of the official instructions. Keep the receipt, date, payer identity, and official payment destination together; a bank transfer to another recipient is not the same thing. Collect civil documents and passports, then ask which family members could derive status under the underlying route, if one exists.
