Is it possible to submit additional letters if new evidence emerges?

Yes, in certain situations it is possible to submit additional letters or evidence after the initial filing of your EB-2 NIW petition, but this follows specific rules and does not happen at any point in the process.

In general, the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) reviews the documents available at the time of adjudication. New relevant evidence tends to enter the process under specific circumstances, such as:

• When USCIS requests additional documentation through a Request for Evidence (RFE).
• When there is a procedure that allows supplemental submission in that particular case.

Each case has its own particularities, and the inclusion of new evidence must follow the procedures and deadlines set by the agency. Submitting material outside the proper timing or format may have no effect, or could even be counterproductive.

For that reason, monitor the progress of your case closely, and when new relevant information arises, confirm the current procedure with USCIS or a qualified professional before sending any supplement.
