How to respond to an RFE questioning the consistency of the evidence submitted?

When USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) issues an RFE (Request for Evidence) questioning the consistency of the evidence in an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case, the goal of the response is to show, in a clear and organized way, that the documents complement each other and form a coherent whole.

Start by reviewing the entire submitted package and identify exactly which points were questioned. From there, build a response that addresses each concern directly.

• Reorganize the information and, when helpful, present a timeline that gives context to the facts.
• Write a structured letter responding point by point to each question raised.
• Include, if necessary, new documents that reinforce the overall coherence of the package.

Act with transparency and precision, respect the deadline indicated in the RFE itself, and be wary of solutions that promise guaranteed results. Since every case is unique, it is worth verifying updated requirements with USCIS or a specialist before submitting your response.
