Preserve the complete action

Keep the document, attachments, envelope, proof of service, and any record of the official visit. The manner and date of service can affect the deadline calculation.

Do not assume which remedy applies

The issuing authority, the nature of the action, and the governing law determine the options. An informal response or filing through the wrong channel can consume valuable time.

Build a verifiable timeline

A clear sequence of requests, responses, inspections, payments, and communications helps separate facts, arguments, and missing documents before strategy is selected.
