The EB-1 visa application process involves a detailed review of your case, and at times USCIS may request additional information through an RFE (Request for Evidence). This step is meant to clarify points that the agency considers require further proof, in order to strengthen your petition.
Regarding the number of rounds of RFE that can occur, there is no fixed number or predetermined limit. Generally, USCIS issues an RFE when it believes the documentation provided is insufficient or needs additional clarification. If, after submitting the response, there are still doubts or outstanding issues requiring proof, a new request for evidence may be issued.
However, it is important to note that multiple RFEs are not the norm, and a strong response to the first RFE can, in most cases, prevent further requests. Each situation is evaluated individually, and the decision to request more information will depend on the complexity of your case and the material submitted.
For this reason, it is essential that all documents and evidence are carefully prepared and submitted according to USCIS guidelines. Strictly following the US immigration laws and regulations is crucial for the success of your process, and it is recommended that you seek guidance from reliable sources and avoid falling for guarantees of results or companies that use misleading marketing campaigns.
If an RFE arises, remember that the quality of the response submitted is decisive for the continuation and evaluation of your petition. Staying organized, providing complete documentation, and, if necessary, having the support of specialized professionals – always with caution and attention to avoid exposure to risks – are important steps to ensure your case proceeds more securely.
