Lessons
Unskilled roles can still be audited on recruitment files—“simple work” does not mean “fewer documents.”
Global Immigrate’s recommendation
Archive ads and recruitment logs the same day. African-post police certificates and appointments run long—schedule medicals as soon as NVC qualifies the file. Align spouse civil documents with the principal.
