What to Do If Your Immigration Application Receives a Request for Evidence or Is Refused

Summary

A request for evidence doesn’t mean failure — a complete, timely reply often leads to approval. Even after a refusal, you can reapply based on the reasons, or switch programmes. How to handle each situation.

Receiving a request for evidence

Many applications receive a request for more evidence during review, such as a USCIS request for evidence (RFE). This does not mean the application has failed — the officer needs more information.

Key points:

  1. Note the deadline and reply in time.
  2. Answer each point — don’t just resend the original documents.
  3. Add strong new evidence, such as extra recommendation letters or financial records.

If the application is refused

First understand the reason:

  • Insufficient evidence: strengthen it and reapply.
  • Not meeting the basic requirements: consider a more suitable programme.
  • A procedural issue: correct it as required and reapply.

Prevention is better than cure

A complete, well-organised first application greatly reduces requests and refusals. An honest assessment before signing matters just as much: if you are not ready, strengthen your profile first.

Our guarantees

No extra service fee for further documents or resubmission as required; if your application is refused, a full refund of service fees paid, or a free switch to another suitable programme (as set out in your service agreement).

FAQ

Does a request for evidence affect the final outcome?

Complete, timely replies often still lead to approval — the key is strong evidence that answers the request.
