How We Work

Every case depends on its own facts. This is how we approach yours.

  • We build the legal argument from the evidence you actually have

  • We decline work we do not believe we can do well

  • You hear from us as the case moves, in English or Mandarin

Eligibility

  • Received an RFE from USCIS
  • Case denied and within appeal window
  • Petition filed earlier needs a second look
  • Want proactive RFE prevention strategy

What to Prepare

These are common intake documents. Exact requirements depend on your case details.

  • Full copy of the prior filing package and USCIS notices
  • Point-by-point issue matrix for each RFE or denial concern
  • Updated evidence and expert opinions addressing deficiencies
  • Legal brief with citations and case-specific argument
  • Deadline tracking and filing proof package

What to Expect

We set realistic expectations early and keep you informed at each milestone.

  • Response precision usually matters more than document volume
  • Short deadlines require fast coordination between client and counsel
  • Some cases are better repositioned for refiling than appeal

Why Choose Us

  • Specialized RFE response expertise
  • 200+ page response capability
  • Expert letter network across industries
  • Extensive experience rebuilding difficult RFE and denial cases

Common Reasons for Denial

We identify risks early so you can address them before filing.

  • Insufficient evidence of sustained acclaim or extraordinary ability

  • Weak nexus between proposed endeavor and national interest (NIW)

  • Inconsistent or incomplete documentation of achievements

  • Source-of-funds issues (EB-5 investor petitions)

  • Specialty occupation not clearly established (H-1B)

Our pre-filing audit catches these issues before USCIS does.
