What should explain a difference between projected and actual revenue?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Relevant operating records and a factual account of the change should make the comparison understandable.

Separate causes from unsupported optimism

Identify real developments and current commitments. A revised forecast should state its assumptions instead of rewriting the original prediction as though it had always matched reality.

Proof of treaty nationality, evidence of the source and path of the funds, the purchase agreement and financing documents, evidence that the money has been irrevocably committed, and records showing the enterprise is real, operating and not marginal. The shareholders' or operating agreement, the certificate of formation, the capitalization table, share certificates or membership records, board and member resolutions, and any management or employment agreements. An escrow agreement whose only release condition is issuance of the visa, bank records showing the money left the investor's own account, and receipts for spending that could not be recovered if the venture failed. Gather employment records, tax filings, sale documents, or inheritance papers for whichever deposits built the balance, then follow the money to the United States business account. Include the executed lease and amendments, supplier agreements and invoices, proof of payments leaving the investor's account, incorporation and share records, and the plan rewritten to match them. The enterprise file shows the business is real and operating: tax returns, financial statements, the premises arrangement, licences, payroll records, supplier and customer contracts, and an asset schedule.
