When you receive an RFE (Request for Evidence) or NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) from USCIS, time is critical. These notices mean that USCIS needs additional information or clarification before making a decision on your case — and missing the response deadline can result in a denial.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

Always aim to submit your response well before the deadline. Even a short delay — due to mail errors, courier issues, or weather disruptions — can cause your response to arrive late.
Responding early also gives you time to:

• Gather supporting documentation

• Request records from third parties

• Seek help from an immigration attorney

Time Starts the Moment You Receive It

The clock begins ticking the day you receive your RFE or NOID. USCIS does not offer extensions in most cases. Treat the deadline seriously and plan your response immediately.

Key Takeaway

A timely and thorough response can make the difference between approval and denial. Don’t delay — act as soon as you receive your notice and consult an experienced immigration attorney if needed.
