USCIS NEW POLICY ON RFEs AND NOIDs FOR FAMILY-BASED CASES

USCIS NEW POLICY ON RFEs AND NOIDs FOR FAMILY-BASED CASES #america #usa #greencard

Introduction “Big changes are coming to U.S. immigration! As of August 1, 2025, USCIS has updated its policies for family-based petitions — and one of the most shocking updates is that officers can now deny cases without issuing an RFE (Request for Evidence) or NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny). If you’re applying for a spouse, parent, or child, this affects you.” Section 1: What Changed? • USCIS updated the Policy Manual (Volume 6, Part B) for family-based petitions. • Officers now have more discretion to: o Require interviews more often. o Scrutinize documentation closely. o Deny cases outright if evidence is insufficient or fraud is suspected. Key point: They don’t have to send you an RFE or NOID anymore. Section 2: What This Means • Before: If your petition was missing something, USCIS often gave you a chance to fix it with an RFE/NOID. • Now: Officers can deny immediately if they think the evidence isn’t strong enough. • Even if your I-130 petition is approved, USCIS can still revoke it later or issue a Notice to Appear if eligibility problems are discovered. • This applies to pending and new cases — there are no grandfathered exceptions. Section 3: Risks for Petitioners • Higher chance of immediate denial for missing documents. • More interviews, even in routine family cases. • Removal proceedings (NTA) possible if ineligibility surfaces. • Increased scrutiny of marriage-based petitions for fraud prevention. Section 4: How to Protect Your Case 1. Submit complete evidence upfront o Marriage certificates, joint bills, photos, affidavits, financial proof. 2. Organize documents clearly o Use tabs, labels, and logical order. 3. Be interview-ready o Even simple cases may face interviews now. 4. Keep eligibility updated o Any change in status or relationship can trigger problems. 5. Get professional guidance o An immigration attorney can review and strengthen your case. Section 5: Quick Takeaway • This is not a ban on RFEs or NOIDs — USCIS can still issue them. • The difference is: they don’t have to. • It’s now your responsibility to make sure your initial filing is complete, strong, and convincing.
