13. What is an RFE (Request for Evidence)
If USCIS needs additional information to decide on your immigration case, it will send a request for evidence (RFE) to the mailing address you listed on your application.

An RFE contains four major parts: the law, a list of the evidence you submitted, a list of the evidence you are missing, and a response deadline.

Common RFEs include:
  • Missing Evidence
  • Missing proof of legal entry
  • Missing translation of documents
  • Inability to determine specialty occupation
  • Missing proof of experience
  • Unpaid fees
  • Missing medical examination and vaccination record
  • Explanation of criminal history
14. Does Receiving an RFE Mean My Application Was Rejected?
No. Receiving an RFE does not mean that USCIS has rejected your application, nor does it mean that they will reject your application.
This means that USCIS needs more information from you before making a decision on your application.
15. How to apply for a work/flight permit

16. How can I request a petition for a family member?
To petition for a family member for U.S. immigration, you'll generally follow these steps:

1. Determine Your Eligibility to Sponsor: First, you must be a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (green card holder). Also, you need to prove that you can support your relative at 125% above the mandated poverty line.

2. File a Petition: The primary form to petition for a family member is Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. This form establishes the relationship between you (the petitioner) and your relative (the beneficiary). You'll need to provide evidence of your relationship, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and any other relevant documents.

3. Pay the Filing Fee: There is a filing fee for the I-130 form, which you'll need to pay at the time of filing. Fees can vary, so it's essential to check the latest fees on the USCIS website.

4. Wait for Decision: After you submit your petition and all necessary documentation, USCIS will process your application. This can take several months or even years, depending on the type of relationship and the beneficiary's country of origin.

5. National Visa Center (NVC) Processing: If your petition is approved, and your relative is from another country, the application will be sent to the National Visa Center. Your relative will be asked to submit additional forms, undergo medical examinations, and eventually, an interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country.

6. Visa Issuance: If the visa interview is successful, a visa will be issued, and your relative can travel to the United States.

7. Adjustment of Status: If your relative is already in the U.S. (for example, on a different legal visa), they may apply to adjust their status to become a lawful permanent resident after the petition is approved.
