This week the writer of these podcasts, Immigration partner Lin Walker, stops by to talk about a best practice in using USCIS' COVID-19 flexibility policy and a simple, but effective method the Meyner & Landis has developed for responding to RFEs that you have to hear!

The dreaded RFE…if you have received that package of blue or yellow paper, sometimes over 12 pages long, you understand the significant anxiety, frustration and sometimes, fear that it causes.This week we have the author of these podcasts, immigration Partner Lin Walker sitting in to share some very positive news regarding several challenging L-1A Requests for Evidence (RFEs) that Meyner & Landis recently received and were able to successfully resolve using a resurrected policy.

While it's true that we can very much learn from our mistakes, and should, in this podcast we are going to give you the benefit of what we learned from two recent successesWe are going to talk about two extensive L-1A RFEs, that we were able to get approved.Through the process of responding to these RFEs, we learned some key points which we believe resulted in these specific cases being approved but which can be applied to many similar cases.

According to USCIS, there were ten common reasons the Agency issued RFEs.In this podcast we'd like to focus on the two of the most common RFEs that we received for H-1B petitions during 2020.We will give you a taste of the language that USCIS uses in these RFEs, our legal analysis and finally we'll offer some strategies for preventing and responding to those RFEs.

Joining me today is Alcorn Immigration Law Business Associate Attorney, Gilberto Orozco Jr., as we talk about best practices for responding to RFEs, especially in the H-1B context. A Request for Evidence is a written notice from USCIS asking for additional documentation to make a decision on an individual’s case. RFEs have become more frequent under the current administration but it doesn’t mean that your case will be denied. Responding to an RFE gives you another chance to strengthen your case to receive an approval from USCIS. What does it mean for your petition or application if you receive an RFE? If you’re an employer and your company is sponsoring an employee, what does it mean when receiving an RFE?  How long do you have to respond to an RFE? Today, we discuss the top reasons for receiving RFEs and the best strategies to avoid them.    In this episode, you’ll hear about: What are RFEs, NOIDs and RFIEs?

WHAT IS THE REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE: H-1B REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE (RFE) - WHAT IT IS AND WHY DOES ONE ISSUE? Receiving a Request-For-Evidence (RFE) during an H-1B visa petition or H-1B transfer or H-1B extension has become normal opposed to when it used to be a taboo prior to 2008 when the USCIS very rarely asked for more information. Today the RFE is more of a norm than an aberration. These days the possibility of getting an RFE is 1 out of 3 cases and it is not really anything bad. It is only the USCIS wanting more information from the petitioner in order to make sure the petition for the Job being filed really exists and if the candidate really qualifies. Some of the various types of queries in RFEs are as follows: (1) Various H-1B worksites; and (2) Level of Professional work available for H-1B workers; and (3) Financial stability of the H-1B employer; and (4) Whether the individual seeking H-1B status maintained their nonimmigrant visa status.

A Request for Evidence (RFE) is a common tool used by the USCIS (Immigration services) to ask for additional proof in order to make a decision on your case. RFEs are often in point form requesting factual information from either the beneficiary or petitioner. While many RFEs are simple, lately many RFE’s have become more complicated and tend to require legal assessment before they can be answered. Our law firm, having filed more than 1000 immigration cases, is quite familiar with responding to RFEs. Based on our experience, we have compiled a 10 Point legal guide to assist you in answering your RFEs. Note that this guide does not cover every single RFE related issue. We highly recommend that you retain a lawyer to help you on your case. http://www.peerallylaw.com/en/content/view/567
