How many days do I have to respond to an RFE?

When USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) issues a Request for Evidence (RFE) for an EB-2 NIW case, it means that it requires additional information or documents to proceed with the analysis of your case.

Generally, the notice specifies the deadline for the response, and commonly, this period is around 87 days from the date the RFE was sent. However, it is important to be attentive, as this deadline may vary depending on the nature of the documents requested in your specific case.

Meeting the indicated deadline is crucial, because if the response is not presented within the stipulated period, there is a risk that the petition will be considered abandoned, which may lead to its denial. Therefore, always read the received document carefully to identify the deadline and details of what is being requested.

If there are any doubts, it is worth consulting reliable sources or specialists to ensure that all necessary points are addressed. It is essential to remember that strictly following immigration laws is indispensable to maintain the smooth progress of the process. Investing time in the detailed analysis of each request and avoiding acting hastily can prevent future problems.

Furthermore, always seek guidance from secure sources and, if uncertain, turn to trusted specialists, avoiding scams or marketing campaigns that promise miraculous solutions. Staying well informed and properly fulfilling the procedures ensures that your case will have the best conditions to be analyzed appropriately, always respecting and complying with the rules of the United States immigration system.
