Requests for Evidence, Notices of Intent to Deny, Notices of Intent to Revoke: Navigating USCIS Roadblocks

You know your relationship or marriage is real, but the powers that be at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services aren’t entirely convinced based on the documents and evidence you have already given them. What else can you do? What more can you give them to show that you truly love the person you’re sponsoring and want them to be with you in the U.S.? Or maybe you simply attempted to file an application on your own or with a non-attorney service and it wasn’t done properly. It happens.

Regardless of the reasons or the documents or information that are now being asked of you, these notices from Immigration Services are often your last chance to correct the record. These notices are usually titled “Request for Evidence”, “Notice of Intent to Deny”, “Notice of Intent to Revoke”, or “Notice of Continuance”. There are nuanced legal differences between these various notice types, but they all represent a final call to fix an application or petition before it is denied or revoked. They are often detailed, complicated, and extremely time-sensitive.

Our office works with clients to navigate and respond to these critical USCIS notices. We review the notices and advise our clients to help them understand what is being asked of them, and guide them in obtaining the documents and information necessary to effectively respond to USCIS’s questions and concerns. We also carefully review the work already done on their cases to look for potential problem areas. What some people who come to us may not understand is that USCIS sometimes issues these notices in error–but how would they know that without the trained eye of a professional? If these errors are not properly addressed, it can threaten to unravel an otherwise solid immigration case.

Most people who come to our office for help with these notices eventually ask us to represent them for the remainder of their immigration matter. Once we have cleaned up a case, we are almost always happy to oblige.

Don’t risk the time, effort, and hard-earned money you have already put into your immigration process. If you have received one of these notices, we strongly recommend you obtain quality and experienced legal assistance. Holmes & Ramos Immigration Attorney has the experience and knowledge to help you through it.
