AILA’s Texas Service Center (TSC) Liaison Committee has been receiving reports that USCIS is issuing problematic RFEs for EB-1(A) and EB-1(C) I-140 petitions requesting information previously not required or evidence already provided. These RFEs often include boilerplate language reiterating the qualifications and evidence needed for the specific category requested.

The TSC Liaison Committee is collecting these examples for the purpose of raising broader trends to USCIS. If you have an example that you would like to report, please complete the form below (one case per form please.) Please do not send examples where you disagree with USCIS’s analysis. The committee is only looking for examples in which USCIS issued an RFE without fully reviewing the filing and considering the evidence submitted. If you have questions or technical issues, please email reports@aila.org, subject line “Problematic I-140 RFEs at TSC.”
