Sending and adding evidence after submission, without RFE. Does USCIS accept it?

The EB-1 visa process involves a thorough review by USCIS, and both the initial documents and any additional Requests for Evidence (RFE) are fundamentally important. During the review of your case, USCIS may, at certain times, request additional information or documents through a Request for Evidence (RFE).

If no RFE has been issued, the system usually assumes that our file is complete with the elements already submitted. Therefore, sending additional evidence or information after submission – without a formally issued RFE – tends not to be considered in the adjudication of the petition. This means that even if you submit more documents in an attempt to strengthen your case, they may not be taken into account, since USCIS evaluates the set of evidence that was available when the process was formally initiated.

It is important to remember that each case is unique, and what happens in one process may differ in another. For this reason, it is always essential to strictly follow the procedures and deadlines established by United States immigration law. In situations where you have doubts about the need to submit additional material, it is worth seeking specialized and reliable guidance, avoiding unfounded promises of quick results, which often may lead to future complications.

Following the rules and keeping your process within established parameters is the best way to avoid delays or denials. Always seek information through official sources and qualified professionals, and be wary of marketing campaigns that promise ease or guarantees regarding results, since the success of your case will depend on the completeness and consistency of all the material submitted, according to USCIS requirements.
