How to respond to an EB-2 NIW RFE that points out inconsistencies in financial documents?

A RFE (Request for Evidence) flagging inconsistencies in documents can be alarming, but in most cases it can be resolved with organization and transparency. In the EB-2 NIW, it is worth remembering that the visa is not based on how much you spent or invested, so the focus of the response is to clarify and align the information, not to prove financial capacity.

The first step is to understand exactly which aspect the USCIS found inconsistent, whether it is a difference in dates, amounts, or information that may have been interpreted differently. From there, build a clear and targeted response.

• Clarify each questioned point and explain apparent variations, such as currency conversions or updates over time.
• Attach supporting documentation, such as receipts, statements, and declarations that confirm the data.
• Organize everything in chronological order or by category to make it easier for the officer to review.

Consistency and clarity matter more than the volume of paperwork. When facing doubts or a more technical request, check the official USCIS guidelines and consider the support of a specialist, avoiding anyone who promises guaranteed outcomes.
