What is an RFE?

An “RFE” is short for “Request for Evidence”. This is a notice from USCIS sent to the petitioner / applicant requesting for more documents to support their application and/or to correct necessary information that was submitted previously.

This is known as the I-797E, Notice of Action.

An “RFE” may seem like a little bump on the road but it can cause delays in processing your petition/case in a timely manner: You send in your application, wait a long time till you hear anything from them, you get an RFE, you send them documents, you wait again… You get the picture.

Double-check. Triple-check your documents before submitting anything the first time around. It will save you time.
