Action task

Prepare a route-specific residence file

Build a dated checklist for one plausible route without assuming that category is approved.

Steps

  1. Record the route, authority, source URL, and date checked.
  2. List identity, civil-status, criminal-record, address, work, income, and family evidence only when the official route calls for it.
  3. Mark apostille, legalization, translation, original-copy, and issue-date questions as unresolved until verified.
  4. Record the filing channel and recheck it immediately before submission.

Recognizable completion

A dated, route-specific checklist with unresolved items clearly marked.

You mark completion; eArgentina does not verify it.
