Webinar: Ex-USCIS Officer Explains Requests for Evidence (RFEs) - Why They Happen and How to Respond

If you’ve received a Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to mean your case is headed for denial. In this webinar, Evan Law, immigration attorney at Manifest Law and former USCIS officer with 17+ years of experience, explains everything you need to know about RFEs:

  • How to effectively respond to an RFE to strengthen your case

  • Common RFE triggers for EB-1A and EB-2 NIW petitions

  • Insider perspective on how USCIS officers review and adjudicate cases

  • Practical strategies for avoiding RFEs in the first place

Evan draws on his time at the USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO)—where he worked on EB-1 and NIW cases to share practical insights that can help applicants and attorneys alike.

📌 Topics Covered:

  • USCIS RFE process explained

  • Tips for organizing evidence and recommendation letters

  • When to respond vs. when to refile
