RFE / NOID / NOIR Response
Responding to USCIS Requests for Evidence and Notices of Intent to Deny or Rescind.
Overview
An RFE, NOID, or NOIR means your case is at risk. Each requires a thorough, legally grounded response within the stated deadline — typically 87 days for an RFE, 30 days for a NOID or NOIR. Missing the deadline results in automatic denial or rescission.
NOIDs and NOIRs require the strongest possible legal argument and evidence — often including expert witnesses, precedent decisions, and policy guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get an extension?
USCIS does not grant RFE deadline extensions. The response must arrive by the stated date.
What happens if I don't respond?
USCIS denies based on the record as-is — the denial then becomes the basis for any appeal.
