Obtain the official birth record and the evidence required to establish the qualifying parent–child relationship; a universal requirement that every certificate name both parents should not be assumed. Arrange the child’s passport and submit it under the actual instructions. Clarify which update is required while a document is still being issued.
Sequencing the birth record, the passport and the case update
Tell the responsible office promptly about the birth through its authorized process and request the requirements for adding the child. Separate notification of the event from a complete documentary submission. If a required certificate is delayed, ask counsel how to meet the real deadline; an explanation of what is missing does not automatically make an incomplete submission sufficient.
Identify the actual applicant and follow genuine instructions for keeping the case information accurate. Use the actual sponsor decision, employment terms and official payment instructions. The official government program page and its published questions and answers, read in full and dated. Only after vetting should an official request appear for a gift of US$1 million to the United States. Do not send identity documents, financial statements or a passport copy to an unverified recipient while that assessment is pending.
