REVIEW:
- Review the COM approval document and confirm it clearly supports the Afghan SIV adjustment filing path: COM approval
- Confirm whether a separate I-360 receipt or approval notice is still needed, or whether the COM approval plus DS-157 language is sufficient for this packet
- Confirm the intended current I-765 eligibility category for the new filing; prior staged work-permit evidence is tied to C11 parole filings: Current EAD front
- Confirm that the current fee treatment is fee-exempt under the Afghan allied / Afghan special immigrant category and not an I-912-based fee waiver
- Review the translation set and decide whether it is filing-acceptable; one file expressly says the English version is not an official translation: Translation certificate, Translation disclaimer
- Confirm whether the medical done on arrival can be documented with a partial I-693 vaccination record for this filing, or whether a new sealed civil-surgeon package is required: I-693 vaccination page
- Review the I-94 date and DOB against all other identity records because the staged I-94 shows

- Confirm the COM / SIV timeline to use in the forms and cover materials because task input says September 2023 while the staged COM approval is dated
09/08/2025 - Review the staged USCIS packet and pull out the actual biometrics notice if needed: USCIS receipt and biometrics packet
- Before filing, confirm the current USCIS form editions and any current filing-rule changes for
I-485,I-765, andI-693
