Concept 1
A valid application requires the current form, prescribed process, fee or waiver position, identity steps and required submission method.

Concept 2
Timing affects lawful status, work and other conditions, section 3C protection and available remedies.

Evidence must prove the actual route requirements and explain any genuinely unavailable item.
Exam cue: Use an evidence schedule that maps each document to a requirement and date.
