Did USCIS call me asking for details? Is it normal?

The request for additional information or clarifications from USCIS can occur, especially during the review of certain types of visas, such as the EB-1. However, it is important to understand the procedures and the context in which these contacts take place.

In general, USCIS uses mail as the official means of communication, so if you receive a call asking for details, it is wise to proceed with caution. Although there are situations where the agency may make phone contacts, most requests for documentation or additional information are formalized through letters or official notifications. This helps to avoid confusion and ensures that all information is properly recorded.

If you have been contacted by phone, always verify the authenticity of the call. An unexpected call, especially if it includes requests for personal or financial data, may be a sign of a scam attempt. USCIS normally will not request that you provide sensitive information without following proper protocols.

If you have any doubts, contact the agency directly through the official channels available on the United States government website. Remember the importance of following U.S. immigration laws and seeking specialized guidance, if necessary, in more specific cases.

It is advisable to avoid falling for fraudulent communications or marketing campaigns that promise quick or guaranteed results, as these strategies usually do not reflect the reality of immigration processes. Staying informed and acting cautiously is essential for the correct progress of your visa process, such as the EB-1.

If new questions arise, seek official and reliable sources to ensure you are receiving appropriate guidance during this review period.
