What to do if USCIS questions the authenticity of cost documents?

When you receive a notice from USCIS questioning the authenticity of the cost documents submitted, it is important to act calmly and attentively. This type of inquiry may occur if there are doubts or inconsistencies identified in the records accompanying your EB-2 NIW visa application.

Although the process may seem daunting, remember that dealing with this situation transparently and in an organized manner is essential to demonstrate compliance with United States government requirements. First, gather all the original documentation used in your application again. This includes receipts, invoices, contracts, and any correspondence that can corroborate the amounts and the origin of the declared costs.

If possible, obtain additional documentation or evidence from official sources to confirm the veracity of the information provided. Having this documentation organized and ready for presentation can help clarify doubts and demonstrate that all information was provided in good faith.

Furthermore, it is essential to monitor USCIS communications and respond fully and accurately within the established deadlines. When preparing your response, detail the cost calculation methodology and explain the contexts of the documents presented. If there are discrepancies or inadvertent errors, consider presenting a clear explanation and, if necessary, correcting the information, always maintaining transparency with immigration officers.

It is worth remembering that strictly following United States immigration laws and seeking guidance from specialized professionals can make all the difference at this stage of the process. Beware of companies that promise quick or guaranteed results – there are many cases of scams and dubious marketing campaigns. Proper follow-up will help avoid future complications and ensure that your application is evaluated fairly and accurately.

In situations like this, collaboration and the presentation of solid evidence are key pieces to demonstrate that the documents presented are authentic. Following the recommendations of official agencies and preparing a detailed response can contribute to a positive resolution of the USCIS inquiry.
