Receiving a Request for More Evidence (RFE) from USCIS can feel stressful but it doesn\u2019t mean your case will be denied. In fact, many petitions are approved after an RFE, if the response is strategic, complete, and legally persuasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people retained our legal services after they first filed on their own or through another attorney. At Messersmith Law Firm, we regularly help clients overcome RFEs across EB-1A, NIW, marriage-based green cards, H-1B, I-129, I-539, I-485, I-601, I-612 waivers, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An RFE means USCIS needs additional proof before they can approve your application. It is not a denial but it must be taken seriously. Your response needs to directly address every issue raised and provide clear documentation to overcome USCIS\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RFEs are commonly triggered by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To win your case, your RFE response should include: 1. A well-organized cover letter 2. Stronger evidence & supporting documents 3. Legal argumentation 4.On time submission<\/p>\n\n\n\n RFEs often require more than documents. A strong legal argument with legal reasoning can make the difference between approval and denial. Most RFEs allow 87 days to respond. If you miss the deadline, USCIS will deny your case automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EB-1A Musician \u2014 Approved After Weak Initial Filing<\/strong> Marriage-Based Green Card \u2014 Relationship Questioned<\/strong> B-2 to F-1 Change of Status \u2014 Approved after Providing Strong Evidence<\/strong> An RFE is your last chance to strengthen your immigration case.
