A Request For Evidence (RFE) from U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a request by US immigration enforcement for additional evidence as part of an immigration application. An RFE is not the same as a rejection. An RFE is made for immigration officials to get more evidence in order to make a decision on an application. In most cases, USCIS will provide specifics on which evidence they’re looking for with an RFE.
There are just three options when responding to an RFE within the time period allowed for a response.
1. The applicant can provide USCIS with all requested evidence all at once
2. The applicant can “partially respond” and send some of the requested evidence
3. The applicant can cancel their application
NB: It’s important to send all evidence that you’d like to include in response to an RFE all at once. It helps you or a loved one’s likelihood of getting the immigration application approved.
