What proof should I keep about the escrow release itself?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Keep the executed escrow agreement, the release or termination notice, the escrow agent's accounting, and bank statements showing the credited amount and date. Where the returned sum differs from the sum wired in, keep the written explanation. Foreign-language documents filed with USCIS need a full certified English translation.

Building an escrow-release record the adjudicator can follow

Consular requirements can differ from USCIS translation rules, so confirm which applies at each stage. Corporate records of the first entity may remain relevant to eligibility even after you leave it, particularly for explaining the legal character of the returned funds and reconciling any retained charges. Do not file thin and promise supplements later; an incomplete response can lead to a request for evidence or a refusal.

Start with the source of the right itself: the royalty agreement, lease or settlement that created the entitlement, together with whatever established the applicant's ownership of the underlying interest in the first place. Quota sold through the marketing board has its own transfer confirmation and payment record. Every hop needs a statement showing the amount leaving and the same amount arriving.
