FAQs:

What is an RFE and NOID?

USCIS issues an RFE (Request for Evidence) when additional information or documentation is required to adjudicate an immigration application.

A NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) is issued when USCIS intends to deny an application but allows the applicant an opportunity to respond before a final decision is made.

Why is it important to respond to RFEs and NOIDs promptly?

Timely and comprehensive responses to RFEs and NOIDs are vital to addressing USCIS's concerns and maximizing the chances of approval.

Failure to respond adequately within the specified timeframe can result in the denial of the application and potential adverse immigration consequences.

How can legal representation help in responding to RFEs and NOIDs?
