Immigration attorneys charge $1,000-5,000 to respond to an RFE or NOID. Main AI decodes your notice, classifies the visa category, lists every piece of evidence USCIS asked for, and drafts your response cover letter — citing the controlling regulation.
A Request for Evidence means USCIS hasn't decided your case — it's identified specific gaps and is giving you one chance to fill them. It is not a denial, but the response deadline printed on the notice is hard, and you generally get exactly one response.
The deadline is printed on the notice itself — commonly up to 87 days, but it varies by case type. USCIS must receive your complete response by that date. Because you typically get one shot, send everything at once, organized to mirror the RFE's own structure.
Answer every item the RFE raises, in the RFE's order, with a cover letter that maps each piece of evidence to the specific request. Ignoring even one item invites denial. Main AI parses the notice, itemizes exactly what USCIS asked for, and builds your evidence checklist.
Yes — an RFE response doesn't guarantee approval, which is why completeness matters. But failing to respond converts near-certainly to denial as "abandoned." A complete, organized response is the single biggest factor within your control.
Time-sensitive: NOIDs give you 30 days, RFEs 30-87 days. Missing the deadline = automatic denial. Main AI gives you a fighting chance even if you can't afford an immigration attorney.
