An RFE Is Not a Denial.
It's Your Chance to Strengthen Your Case.

Receiving a Request for Evidence from USCIS on your EB2-NIW petition can feel devastating — especially after months of preparation. But an RFE simply means the adjudicating officer needs additional evidence or clarification before making a decision.

The critical difference between an approval and a denial at this stage comes down to how effectively you respond. A generic response rarely works. USCIS wants targeted, objective evidence that directly addresses their specific concerns.

That's exactly what our expert opinion letters provide — independent, PhD-level analysis mapped precisely to the issues in your RFE, structured around the Matter of Dhanasar framework.

With 170+ experts across every major field, we match you with a specialist who understands your work and can articulate its national importance in terms USCIS adjudicators respect.

Common EB2-NIW RFE Triggers

!
National Importance Not Established — USCIS finds the endeavor has merit but doesn't see evidence of impact beyond a local or regional level.
!
Petitioner Not Well-Positioned — Insufficient evidence that you specifically have the track record, qualifications, or resources to advance the endeavor.
!
Weak Balancing Test Argument — USCIS isn't convinced that waiving labor certification would benefit the United States in your case.
!
Vague or Unsupported Claims — Subjective praise without verifiable data, metrics, or concrete evidence to back it up.
!
Lack of Independent Expert Validation — No objective, third-party analysis from a qualified authority in your field.

Dhanasar Framework

How We Address All Three Dhanasar Prongs in Your RFE Response

Every EB2-NIW expert opinion letter we produce is structured around the three-prong test from Matter of Dhanasar (2016) — the controlling legal standard USCIS applies to every NIW petition.

1

Substantial Merit & National Importance

We demonstrate that your proposed endeavor has real, measurable value at a national or global level — not just local or personal significance.

⚠️ Common RFE: "The petitioner has not established that the endeavor has national importance."
✅ Our Fix: Data-driven evidence connecting your work to national priorities, economic impact, public benefit, or field advancement.
2

Well-Positioned to Advance

We establish that you specifically have the credentials, track record, and resources to carry this endeavor forward successfully.

⚠️ Common RFE: "Insufficient evidence that the petitioner is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor."
✅ Our Fix: Expert analysis linking your qualifications, publications, experience, and achievements directly to your ability to execute.
3

Balancing Test: Waiver Justified

We argue persuasively that the U.S. benefits more from letting you work freely than from requiring traditional labor certification.

⚠️ Common RFE: "The petitioner has not shown it would benefit the U.S. to waive the job offer requirement."
✅ Our Fix: Expert testimony on why labor certification constraints would delay or undermine your nationally important work.

Common Questions About EB2-NIW RFE Responses

Yes — expert opinion letters are one of the most effective tools for responding to EB2-NIW RFEs. A targeted letter from a qualified, independent expert directly addresses USCIS concerns and provides the objective, evidence-based analysis that adjudicators require under the Matter of Dhanasar framework. Unlike recommendation letters from colleagues, expert opinion letters carry significant weight because they come from independent authorities with no personal connection to the petitioner.
Standard delivery takes 7–10 business days. Rush delivery is available in as few as 3–5 business days for urgent deadlines. We recommend contacting us immediately upon receiving your RFE to ensure adequate time for a thorough, high-quality letter. The sooner we begin, the stronger your response will be.
USCIS typically provides 84 calendar days (approximately 12 weeks) to respond to an EB2-NIW RFE. This deadline is printed on your RFE notice and is non-negotiable — USCIS generally does not grant extensions. If you miss the deadline, USCIS will decide based on the existing record, which usually results in denial. Begin your response immediately.
No. An RFE is not a denial — it's USCIS asking for more evidence before making a decision. Many EB2-NIW petitions are approved after a well-prepared RFE response. In fact, USCIS could have denied your petition outright but instead chose to give you an opportunity to strengthen your case. The quality of your response is what determines the outcome.
An expert opinion letter is written by an independent, qualified expert who provides an objective analytical assessment of your qualifications against the Dhanasar criteria — using data, citations, and evidence. A recommendation letter is from a colleague or supervisor attesting to your abilities from personal experience. USCIS places significantly more weight on independent expert opinion letters, especially for RFE responses, because they offer unbiased, evidence-based validation.
Yes. We provide expert opinion letters for denial responses and appeals as well. If your EB2-NIW petition was denied, you may have options including filing a motion to reopen or reconsider, appealing to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), or filing a new petition. A strong expert opinion letter can be instrumental in any of these scenarios. Contact us for a free case assessment.
Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with immigration attorneys to align our expert opinion letters with their legal strategy. Your attorney can guide which Dhanasar prongs to emphasize, and we ensure the letter supports and strengthens their overall case argument. We also work directly with self-petitioners who are managing their own case.
Yes. Every expert opinion letter comes with free revisions to ensure it meets both your needs and your attorney's requirements. We want you to be completely confident in the letter before it's submitted to USCIS.
