What is an RFE?
If USCIS needs more information while reviewing an I-526E, it issues a request for evidence (RFE). This does not mean the petition has failed.
Common reasons and responses
| Reason | Response |
|---|---|
| Insufficient source-of-funds evidence | Add complete evidence of income, business or asset sales |
| A broken transfer path | Add the missing transfer records with explanations |
| Incomplete gift or loan documents | Add the donor’s or secured asset’s source evidence |
| Project document issues | Coordinate the reply with the regional center |
How to reply
- Note the deadline and reply in time.
