timing-risk-intake
What are the most common rejection risks?
Common risks include wrong document version, wrong route assumption, insufficient academic verification, using a JP where a notary is required, altered originals, missing translations, and relying on country-level assumptions instead of receiving-authority instructions.
Detailed answer
Most avoidable failures happen before formal lodgement. The route may be conceptually available, but the file in hand is wrong, incomplete, too old, insufficiently verified, or mismatched to the receiving authority’s actual instruction. Strong intake therefore starts by checking the source document, the destination use, the authority wording, and any issues around names, originals, translation, or notarisation.
