USCIS sends Request for Evidence (RFE), is the application about to be rejected?

When checking the application status on USCIS, many people suddenly see the message:

Request for Evidence Was Sent

This is one of the situations that worries many applicants the most.

However, in reality, RFE is a fairly common part of the application review process.

⸻

What is RFE?

Request for Evidence (RFE) is a USCIS notice requesting the applicant or sponsor to provide additional information or documents before making a final decision.

This means that USCIS is still continuing to review the application.

⸻

Why does USCIS send an RFE?

Some common causes include:

* Missing required documents.

* The copy is unclear or difficult to read.

* Missing translation.

* Missing signature.

* Lack of evidence to prove the relationship.

* Lack of financial information of the guarantor.

⸻

Is receiving an RFE about to be rejected?

Are not.

In many cases, after adding the correct requirements, the application is still accepted normally by USCIS.

What is important is:

* Read all requirements carefully.

* Prepare the correct USCIS required documents.

* Send on time.

⸻

Should I submit additional documents beyond the requirements?

Normally, you should only send:

* Required USCIS documents.

* Documents directly related to the content that need to be supplemented.

Submitting too many unrelated documents can cause the review process to take longer.

⸻

What if it's overdue?

USCIS always clearly states the response deadline in the RFE letter.

If you do not respond within the deadline, your application may be decided based on existing documents or rejected according to regulations.
