The chart below lists the documents in the second priority list of automatically convincing evidence. It also outlines the procedures to use to establish the DB when such evidence is present.
If records from the first priority list (see GN 00302.115) are not readily available (i.e., within 10 working days of the request), request evidence from the second priority list. Note that all documents in GN 00302.118D. must be domestic records.
It is not necessary to document the file regarding the nonavailability of evidence from the first priority list.
