Applying for immigration benefits like citizenship or permanent residence can get very stressful. However, the most nerve-wracking part of the immigration process is the waiting. You cross your fingers and hope your petition gets approved, and that pit in your stomach keeps you on edge with anxiety. For most applicants, requests for immigration benefits are life-changing and denial could mean removal from the United States.
There are times when the much anticipated decision, however, does not come. Instead, you may receive a Request for Evidence (RFE) from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is a request for additional information that will help them come to a decision on your case. There may be something that is not clear or there may be some documents that were not submitted. Whatever the case, this does not necessarily mean that the petition will be denied. It means that USCIS needs more information so they can decide.
It does mean that they’re not sure about whether or not your petition should be approved. With this in mind, it is very important that you comply with their Request for Evidence to prove your eligibility for the specific petition you applied for. It may be your last chance to make sure that the USCIS officials are convinced of your qualifications. The RFE should have a deadline listed on it so make sure that you submit the requested information on or before that date. Failure to do so would mean the denial of your application.
