What is an RFE?
A Request for Evidence (RFE) is a formal notice from USCIS asking you to provide additional documentation or clarification before a decision can be made on your case.
Common reasons for an RFE
- Insufficient evidence of qualifications or eligibility
- Missing or incomplete forms
- Unclear job duties or employer-employee relationship
- Inconsistencies in the application
- Questions about financial ability
How to respond effectively
Your response must be thorough and submitted before the deadline — typically 87 days. Address every point raised in the RFE with supporting documentation and a legal brief explaining how the evidence satisfies USCIS standards.
Conclusion
An RFE is not a denial — it's an opportunity. With the right legal response, many RFE cases result in approval. Contact our office if you've received an RFE and need help responding.
