Collect identity and family information, define the precise proposal under consideration, and confirm current eligibility, funding, and instruction questions. Follow the official directions for any subsequent USCIS forms and supporting evidence.
Rely on a dated official source, not a secondhand summary
The official website indicates that applicants receive further USCIS instructions after the initial payment step. Review those specific requirements rather than assuming an unrelated investor file can simply be reused. Keep a record of exactly which version of the instructions informed the plan, since official instructions can be updated.
Wire instructions directing the money to a private company, a consultant’s account or an unidentified escrow do not match that description and should be checked against the official page before anything is sent. An official agency may send a direct notice as well as portal instructions; a discrepancy requires confirmation, not an assumption that either format automatically controls.
