Practice Notes

• Match filing format to current policy (mail vs. online); include evidence in portal when required.
• Provide a concrete plan for travel, housing, and financial support; avoid vague promises.
• For medical cases, include physician letters detailing urgency and lack of local care.
• If safety-based, include specific threats and country conditions; avoid overbroad claims.
• Track receipt and expedite if life/safety issues are imminent.
