In2026, a lawyer files an outbound application with a known recipient address but does not verify that the requested State is a Convention party or satisfy its referenced requirements. She argues that any foreign address alone makes approval mandatory. Which is best?

- The receiving State’s requirements never matter
- The court or IBP must review the full Section2.2 requirements and accompanying materials; a known address alone is insufficient
- Every country is presumed a party without verification
- Approval automatically establishes the claimant’s substantive rights
