What should I do if USCIS questions the consistency of my financial documents?

In the EB-2 NIW, if USCIS raises concerns about the consistency of the financial documents you submitted, the right approach is to respond in an organized and transparent way. The goal is to clarify what prompted the question, without treating it as a wealth test, since this pathway is based on merit and national interest.

A useful framework for building your response:

• Gather and review all supporting documentation, such as statements, declarations, and other records.
• Prepare a clear explanation for any discrepancies, such as seasonal variations or accounting changes.
• Include additional evidence that confirms the authenticity and coherence of the original information.

A well-structured response helps the officer understand the context and confirm the data. Since every case has its own particulars, it is worth checking the latest guidance from USCIS and seeking specialized support to prepare your reply.
