What should the dependent bring to a review of the placement?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Anything describing the role: the placement offer or agreement, a task description, the schedule, correspondence about compensation or expenses, and, if it is tied to school, the course requirement. Also bring proof of the dependent's current status.

Documents should describe the activity, not just the person

A status document shows what the dependent holds; it says nothing about the proposed activity. The useful records are the ones describing the work itself, including informal ones such as emails setting expectations or a coordinator's message about hours. If nothing is written down yet, ask the organization to put the role in writing before the review rather than describing it from memory.

Connect the employer’s accurate role description with any relevant early schedule. Keep the offer, role description and genuine relocation terms consistent. Obtain an accurate description of the actual professional services and engagement terms. If the institute is legally distinct, a university letter describing what happens inside the institute carries limited weight, because the signer is not the person who directs that work. Attach the employer's internal job description if one exists; consistency between the two is persuasive. Keep both documents, a current licence record and the transcript in the same folder.
