Use relevant current operating and organizational evidence reflecting the actual post-transaction group.
Replace stale assumptions with current facts
A registration or old chart may provide history without proving present activity. Explain which entities continue business and the real support for that account.
Corporate evidence usually has to be created rather than retrieved: organizational charts drawn for the first time, financial statements prepared to a standard the file can rely on, payroll histories extracted for a defined period, and a duties description written with care. Eligibility still requires a parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate relationship, one continuous year of full-time foreign employment in a managerial, executive, or specialized-knowledge capacity within the relevant preceding three-year period, and primarily managerial or executive U.S. duties. Before anything else, the petition file needs the share purchase agreement, the updated share register or stock ledger showing the Canadian company as owner, and evidence that the U.S. plant is trading: payroll records, customer invoices, a lease or deed. The evidence expected is ordinary commercial material: statements showing revenue, payroll registers, signed customer or supplier contracts, business licences, a lease or title for premises, and insurance. An organizational chart drawn for the petition proves little; a payroll register, a service agreement naming the parties, and minutes recording a decision the applicant made all existed before the immigration question arose.
