If you’ve received a Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) from USCIS, you’re likely feeling worried, confused, or even scared. We understand. These letters can feel overwhelming—but they are not the end of your immigration journey.
You are not alone. We will guide you through every step.
At the Law Office of Carrie Nguyen, we’ve successfully responded to hundreds of RFEs and NOIDs. Our all-female, immigrant-rooted team knows exactly what USCIS is looking for—and how to build the strongest possible response to keep your case on track.
Time is critical. Most RFEs give you 30-90 days to respond. NOIDs typically give you just 30 days. Missing the deadline means automatic denial.
An RFE means USCIS needs more information or documentation to make a decision on your case. It is not a denial—it's an opportunity to strengthen your application by providing additional evidence.
Common reasons for RFEs:
Important: You have only ONE chance to respond to an RFE. Everything must be submitted together, by the deadline stated in your notice.
A NOID is more serious than an RFE. It means USCIS has identified fundamental concerns with your eligibility and plans to deny your case—unless you can provide compelling evidence and legal arguments to change their decision.
Common reasons for NOIDs:
Critical: A NOID is your last chance to save your case. You typically have only 30 days to respond with a comprehensive rebuttal.
As immigrants ourselves, we understand the immigration system from the inside. We know what USCIS officers are looking for, how to present evidence persuasively, and how to address their concerns head-on.
Our approach:
We’re Immigrants, For Immigrants
Our founder, Attorney Carrie Nguyen, immigrated to the United States from Vietnam at age 10. Our entire team is either immigrants or children of immigrants. We’ve lived this journey. We understand the fear, uncertainty, and hope you’re carrying right now.
We handle RFE and NOID responses for:
We review your USCIS notice immediately and assess your situation. We'll explain exactly what USCIS is asking for, why they're asking for it, and what it will take to overcome their concerns.
We examine your original application, all supporting documents, and any prior correspondence with USCIS. We identify gaps, inconsistencies, or areas where evidence can be strengthened.
We work with you to gather the specific documentation needed to address each issue raised by USCIS. We'll tell you exactly what to provide—and help you understand why each piece matters.
We draft a detailed cover letter and legal brief that directly responds to every concern in the RFE or NOID. We organize all supporting documents in a clear, logical order that makes it easy for the USCIS officer to see that you've addressed everything.
Before mailing, we conduct a final quality check to ensure nothing is missing. We submit your response via tracked mail with delivery confirmation, well before the deadline.
After submission, we monitor your case status and keep you informed of any updates. If USCIS requests an interview or additional follow-up, we're with you every step of the way.
Timeline: We work efficiently to complete your response within 2-4 weeks, allowing time for delivery before your deadline.

Most RFEs give you 30-90 days, with many allowing 84 days (about 12 weeks). NOIDs typically give you 30 days. The exact deadline is stated in your notice. Remember: USCIS counts the date they receive your response, not when you mail it. Always send your response well before the deadline.
USCIS will either deny your case immediately or make a decision without the requested evidence—which almost always results in denial. There are no extensions, so meeting the deadline is critical.
Legally, yes—but it’s not recommended. RFEs and NOIDs are complex. The language is often vague, and knowing exactly what USCIS wants requires experience. A poorly prepared response can lead to denial, which may affect future applications. Professional help significantly increases your chances of approval.
Sometimes USCIS requests evidence you already submitted. You should still include it in your response—either resubmit clear copies or explain where it was included in your original application. Never assume USCIS will find it.
Fees vary depending on the complexity of your case and the type of response required. We offer a detailed quote after reviewing your notice during the initial consultation. Payment plans are available.
An RFE means USCIS needs more information to make a decision. A NOID means USCIS plans to deny your case unless you can convince them otherwise. NOIDs are more serious and require stronger legal arguments—not just additional documents.
Yes. With the right evidence and legal arguments, many NOIDs result in approvals. We’ve successfully overturned NOIDs in hundreds of cases. The key is responding strategically and comprehensively within the deadline.
Yes. Our bilingual team serves clients in both English and Spanish. We ensure you fully understand your case and options in the language you’re most comfortable with.
