What is a USCIS Request for Evidence?
A Request for Evidence notice (RFE) is issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to applicants when additional evidence or information is required to process their immigration application.
An RFE is typically issued when the USCIS officer reviewing the application determines insufficient evidence or documentation to make a decision.
USCIS issues RFEs when they require additional documents to make a decision on a pending matter. RFE’s can be complex and should be taken very seriously. Failure to respond in a timely manner or completely can lead to the denial of a case. Contact or call our Request for Evidence Lawyers today at 630-392-8101 for a consultation!
What are the Most Common Reasons USCIS Issues a Request for Evidence?
When USCIS issues an RFE, it specifies the additional evidence or information needed to complete the review of the application and includes a deadline by which the requested documents or information must be submitted.
Common reasons for receiving an RFE include:
- Insufficient Supporting Documentation
USCIS may request additional evidence to support the application’s claims, such as proof of employment, financial support, or bona fide relationships.
- Clarification or Correction of Information
If the application contains inconsistencies or errors, USCIS may request clarification or correction of the information provided.
- Missing Signatures or Forms
USCIS may issue an RFE if required forms are missing signatures or if certain forms were not included with the initial submission.
For certain immigration benefits, such as adjustment of status or immigrant visa applications, USCIS may request updated medical examinations from the applicant.
- Criminal Record Documentation
If an applicant has a criminal history, USCIS may request additional documentation related to the arrest, conviction, or resolution of the criminal charges.
Failure to respond to an RFE within the specified timeframe
can result in denying the immigration application.
Responding to an RFE is a critical part of the immigration application process. It’s important to carefully review the RFE notice and provide the requested evidence or information promptly and accurately.
