How to respond to an RFE questioning the relationship between the presented costs and national benefits?

When a Request for Evidence (RFE) notification questions the relationship between the presented costs and the benefits for the country, it is important to prepare a well-grounded and detailed response.

In the case of the EB-2 NIW visa, the goal is to demonstrate how the investments made – or the funds requested – translate into significant gains for the United States, aligned with national interest.

To develop a robust response, gather documents that correlate each expense with the expected positive impact, such as budgets, reports, and feasibility studies. Clearly explain how the resources will be used and why each expense is essential to achieve objectives aligned with the national interest, mentioning benefits such as job creation and technological advancements.

Proceed with caution, respecting immigration laws and seeking expert support to ensure a consistent response, avoiding risks due to incomplete information.

In summary, detail how each cost relates to the anticipated benefits, reinforcing that your project contributes to national interests, which is fundamental for the approval of the EB-2 NIW visa.
