09/06/2018: REMINDER: USCIS Policy of Discretionary Denial Instead of Issuing RFE or NOID Before Denial Takes Effect TUESDAY 9/11

  • Beginning from next Tuesday, USCIS officials may outright deny instead of issuing RFE or NOID for flaws or lack of "initial evidence" in applications or petitions which they receive. Accordingly, nonimmigrant or immigrant applicants and petitioners should review "form instructions" for applications or petitions they want to file to ensure that there are no flaws in presentation of the forms and no initial evidence are missing in their presentation before they ship out their applications and petitions from today. Please remember that because of the Trump Administration's changes with the policies on various nonimmigrant and immigrant petitions and applications, the USCIS has been frequently changing the forms and the list of required "initial evidence" in the petitions or applications, some of which have changed. Reviewing instruction forms, particularly forms which have been recently revised, should be an important step for the petitioners, applicants, and their legal counsels. Remember that such denial will not only cause for the delays in processing applications and petitions, but also lose the expensive filing fees!
  • For the reasons, in our home page, we have set up a link to the updated form sites to help our readers to check the forms without too much hassle. Remember also that in order to help the immigration stakeholders, today, from 2:00 p.m. (EST), Ombudsman is scheduled host a teleconference on this policy changes and NTA policies, inviting USCIS officials.
