Responding to a Request for Evidence (RFE) from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services can be daunting, and doing so without an immigration attorney might lead to critical errors. Here are four common mistakes applicants make when handling RFEs on their own:
Basing Arguments on Personal Opinions: RFE responses should be grounded in the law and regulations, not personal beliefs. Including personal opinions can undermine the professionalism and seriousness of your response.
Overlooking Laws and Regulations: Many applicants lack the training to fully understand business immigration laws that apply to their cases. This can lead to responses that do not adequately address legal requirements, diminishing the chances of approval.
Ignoring Specific Requests: RFEs are precise in their requirements. Failing to provide exactly what is requested, or providing unnecessary additional documents, can confuse the reviewing officer and potentially lead to further scrutiny or denial.
Underestimating the Process: Some applicants mistakenly believe that responding to an RFE is straightforward. However, overlooking the complexity of the process can lead to errors that impact not only the current application but also future immigration endeavors.
Handling an RFE effectively requires a thorough understanding of immigration law and procedures, which is why it is highly recommended that you use an experienced immigration attorney. If you are navigating this process on your own and need support, particularly with crafting strong, regulation-based responses, consider seeking professional legal guidance.
