Prepare each dependent's own identity and relationship evidence: passports, the marriage certificate for a legally married spouse, and birth certificates showing parentage and each child's age. Add the investor's status documents and a written travel sequence. School letters explain the calendar; they do not substitute for relationship or eligibility proof.
Order translations and consents in the right sequence
Check translation and copy requirements before ordering records, then obtain the documents needed for the applicable filing stage. A missing civil record may require an accepted alternative; do not assume it can simply be added after submission. For a child travelling with one parent, assess custody and consent documents as well. Include the principal’s visa or status evidence appropriate to whether the family applies together or follows later.
A closing statement showing a paid deposit is not the same as proof of lawful source and path. For every projected figure, note the source: a written quote, a signed lease, an equipment order, a comparable wage survey, or a stated estimate. Use documents that match the real legal rights: a loan agreement for repayable money, a gift declaration for a genuine gift, and ownership records for jointly held assets.
