Understand this route
Start with the child's status, documents, safety and education.
What to do
1. Start with the child's safety, available documents and actual place of residence. Do not postpone school or health-cover questions if they are needed now.
2. Separate the issues: status and documents, school, housing, healthcare and benefits have different authorities and conditions.
3. Keep only evidence relevant to the case; an unknown fact means verification, not giving up the next safe step.
