For instance, if you interrupted your trip due to an illness or injury, supply a diagnosis and copies of medical bills.

4. Show The Cost Of The Remaining Trip Following The İnterruption

Send copies of airline tickets, hotel rates and any other documentation substantiating the cost of the unused portion of your trip.

5. Enclose Documentation Showing Any Non-refundable Charges Relating To The Cost Of Your Trip
