USCIS ADDRESS LISTED ON RFE

RE: RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE FOR REFUGEE ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS UNDER INA §209(a)

APPLICANT: CLIENT’S NAME, CLIENT’S A#

Dear Sir or Madam:

I represent the above-named Applicant who is seeking to adjust status. On DATE OF USCIS RFE, USCIS requested that the following documents be sent by RFE DEADLINE: LIST OUT DOCUMENTS REQUESTED IN RFE. This package serves as the Applicant’s response to the request for additional evidence.

The following documents are enclosed to satisfy the RFE:

●  LIST OUT DOCUMENTS THAT ARE SENT TO RESPOND TO RFE.

The Applicant is unable to produce LIST DOCUMENTS THAT APPLICANT CANNOT PROVIDE because LIST REASONS WHY APPLICANT CANNOT PROVIDE DOCUMENTS; BEST REASON IS THAT THE DOCUMENT DOES NOT EXIST OR CANNOT EXIST. According to 8 CFR §103.2(b)(2)(ii), secondary documents may be submitted in lieu of a required document. The Applicant was able to provide LIST OUT DOCUMENT THE APPLICANT CAN PROVIDE TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN THE RFE because EXPLAIN WHY THE DOCUMENT SHOULD SATISFY SAID REQUIREMENT. We request that USCIS accept the secondary evidence in lieu of the required documentation.

OR

The Applicant is unable to produce LIST DOCUMENT THAT APPLICANT CANNOT PROVIDE because LIST REASON WHY APPLICANT CANNOT PROVIDE DOCUMENT. According to the Foreign Affairs Manual’s Reciprocity Table for INSERT COUNTRY the document requested is unavailable or nearly impossible for the Applicant to obtain. As a REFUGEE/ASYLEE, the Applicant fled HIS/HER INSERT COUNTRY and was unable to bring said document with HIM/HER. We request that USCIS review the Applicant’s A-file and refugee packet as instructed by the USCIS Policy Manual for documents pertaining to INSERT REQUIREMENT USCIS NEEDS ESTABLISHED which will likely be satisfied upon a further review of the A-file.

We request that USCIS approve the Applicant’s adjustment of status application.
