An RFE is when USCIS asks for more documents or explanations before they can make a decision. It means something’s missing or unclear in your case. You should read the RFE carefully, gather the requested documents, and submit a complete response by the deadline. If you don’t respond in time, your case could be denied.

An RFE means USCIS needs more information before they can approve your case. It doesn’t mean your application is denied but it’s a second chance. You’ll need to send in the missing documents or clarify something that wasn’t clear. It’s important to respond completely and before the deadline.
