What is an RFE? Posted on August 1, 2014 by Mrs. Presson 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. Related Posts:What is an I-797 ?
