Preserve the historical entity names and dates, and gather the documents explaining each corporate change. Identify which legal entity employed the applicant during each period rather than describing the whole history under the current brand.
Make the employment chronology verifiable
Link each employment period to the corresponding corporate documents and flag any gap or inconsistency in dates. A name change is not the same as a transfer between separate legal employers, and the distinction matters for the qualifying-period analysis. The reviewer needs the actual record, not a smoothed summary.
Arrange the exhibits in the order a reviewer would test them: ownership records, foreign payroll and duties, U.S. role, then current organization evidence. The first review should identify what document proves each claimed reporting line.
Hypothetical example: a cross-border packaging company wants to transfer its Montréal distribution manager to supervise a U.S. warehouse. The job description says she will manage supervisors, while the payroll list shows only hourly pickers and no supervisors.
The company should either document the planned management layer and its timing or describe the role without it. An unsupported future chart creates a preventable credibility problem. This reconciliation is essential before filing.
