A projection describes expected income, not a government payment already made. Keep the financial plan and actual transaction evidence distinct.

Retain the relevant account and payment material requested through the official process. Do not relabel future income as settled funds or imply that a financial forecast proves an instructed gift has reached its recipient.
Before a payment, preserve the bank records, sale documents, tax documents, loan terms, and transfer trail that explain the money. Identify the actual payer, recipient, purpose and governing terms for each amount. Keep names, dates and spellings consistent across passports, certificates and the payment record, because mismatches are what generate questions. Preserve passports, visas, entry records, status notices, and relevant departure records. Keep dated copies of every instruction because a completed asset sale is not itself a completed government payment. Only successful vetting leads the government to request the applicant’s gift of US$1 million to the United States. A gift described as going to the U.S. government should not be wired to a private escrow account, a consultancy or an intermediary in a third country. Record family additions, private reimbursements, and government obligations independently, and confirm current portal directions before sending funds.
