LIVE Q&A: RFE Deep Dive with an Immigration Attorney

​Receiving a Request for Evidence can feel alarming — but an RFE is not a denial. In most cases, it’s USCIS saying they need more clarity before they can approve your case.

In this webinar, we break down what RFEs actually mean, why they’re issued (even in strong cases), and how USCIS officers think when reviewing petitions. Drawing on firsthand adjudication experience, we explain how to respond strategically — not just by submitting more documents, but by strengthening the narrative and addressing the officer’s concerns head-on.

If you’ve received an RFE — or you’re preparing an EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, H-1B, or O-1 petition and want to reduce the risk of one — this session provides a practical, insider-level foundation.
