Urgent case help
An RFE is not a denial.
We read what the officer is actually questioning, then build the response your case needs before the deadline.
Send us the notice and we will confirm your deadline before anything else.
Start with what the officer questioned
USCIS notices are long, and the real objection is often buried a few paragraphs deep. We read the notice against the petition that was filed and identify exactly which evidence the officer rejected, and why.
- The specific criteria or elements the officer disputed
- What was filed, what was missing, what was misread
- Your response deadline and how it is counted
Build a targeted response, not a resend
A strong response answers the objection the officer actually raised. We gather new evidence where it helps, reframe what you already filed, and write a legal argument that ties your record to the standard being applied.
- New evidence and updated expert or advisory letters
- A written argument addressing each objection in turn
- A clean exhibit index so nothing gets overlooked
After a denial, you still have options
A denial closes one filing, not every path. Depending on the ground given, we look at a motion to reopen, a motion to reconsider, an appeal, or a stronger refiling. We explain the tradeoffs in plain terms.
- Motion to reopen, where new facts or evidence exist
- Motion to reconsider, where the law was applied wrongly
- Appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office
Questions, answered.
How long do I have to respond to an RFE?
The deadline is printed on the notice itself, and it is fixed. USCIS does not extend it. Missing it generally means a decision on the record already filed, so the date drives every choice we make.
Can you take over a case another attorney filed?
Yes. We regularly respond to notices on petitions we did not prepare. We start by reading the original filing and the notice together, because the objection only makes sense against what was actually submitted.
Is a NOID more serious than an RFE?
A Notice of Intent to Deny signals the officer is leaning toward refusal, so the response has to do more than add documents. It has to change how the officer reads your case. Check the date and move.
Can you guarantee the response will be approved?
No. USCIS decides every petition, and no attorney can promise an outcome. What we control is the quality and completeness of the response. Silverpoint does offer an attorney fee refund promise on the cases we accept.
