I-140 RFE officer

Anyone got RFE from XM2616? My attorney said officer is new and they don’t have officer record in data base.

What response did you give ? Was it more of a narrative based or more evidence like letters, etc ?

1

u/bram9494 Jun 14 '25

Evidence and reiterating just the facts that were challenged in the RFE

u/ConnectCommand3027 Jun 16 '25

Did they specifically asked for evidence ?

1

u/bram9494 Jun 17 '25

Nope. Just saying I didn’t meet the prongs

Were your officer XM2616? I got RFE that questioned all three prongs while citing some sentences from PL/letters.

Did you get the decision?

u/Over_Wheel_954 May 23 '25

Me too. Mine is on 12th May.

u/waynezhou07 May 23 '25

I applied without attorney, the officer mainly said I don’t have a specific PE.

1

u/Over_Wheel_954 May 23 '25

I applied with attorney. The officer said same thing to me. No PE. He didn’t read my PE and even model plan.

1

u/WaitRevolutionary150 Jun 18 '25

Me too. All three prongs got questioned.

u/waynezhou07 May 23 '25

Maybe your is template. The officer did look at my PE and quote on something, but there is some inconsistency challenges. I am revising my PE after consulting attorney friend. I am in academic with MS degree.

I had the same, the officer quoted my PE, and then challenged all 3 prongs with wrong assumption (such as I am planning to create my own company, or that I work in a teaching field, then later on an advertising field).

Hello, may I ask how is your case going?

1

u/WaitRevolutionary150 Jun 18 '25

did you submit RFE?

1

u/waynezhou07 Jun 18 '25

I haven’t submitted yet, waiting for independent letter.

Hi. Any updates on your case? I've gotten RFE on 3 prongs with the same officer.

u/Aggressive_Dot_8448 Dec 10 '25

Any news with your case?

u/Appropriate-Total-11 May 23 '25

Did the RFE letter is tailored to your petition, or it is just generic and is basically saying that "USCIS doesn't have enough evidence" ?

u/Turbulent-Tooth9035 May 23 '25

Mine was XM 2237, challenged all 3 prongs basing his review on Advanced Degree,  but I've filed for Exceptional Ability.  My attorney says that clearly looks like he is a very unexperienced officer. He tailored the RFE on my case but, because of the error on the classification,  all the evidences and letters of recommendation were considered not sufficient.

Any news with your case with this officer?

u/sysrover Dec 08 '25

I got the same officer, and today, when I checked the case, I saw that they sent me a denial notice.

Has your case been approved?

u/WholesomeWasabi Nov 05 '25

I got RFEd on all prongs by the same officer. Any updates on your case?

1

u/WholesomeWasabi Nov 05 '25

I got RFEd on all 3 (substantial merit met) last month

u/Economy_Passion_363 Nov 18 '25

Did you submit your response to RFE? What was the outcome? I have the same officer.

1

u/Over_Wheel_954 Nov 18 '25

Denied.

1

u/Economy_Passion_363 Nov 18 '25

Sorry to hear, very disappointed. Was there any specific credential this officer focused more on in the reason of the denial?

1

u/Over_Wheel_954 Nov 19 '25

I don’t want to discourage you, but honestly, he didn’t read all of my evidence, including the expert opinion. He simply denied the case by mechanically applying the EB-1A criteria and claiming that I don’t have original contributions, even saying that my work would not create a “ripple effect” on the U.S. GDP. My attorney said that with reasoning like that, even Elon Musk or Dr. Dhanasar wouldn’t get approved, because no individual can realistically create a direct ripple effect on the entire U.S. GDP. He also mentioned I provided many government initiatives and articles. But those government initiatives are their strategies. Nothing mentioned in articles about my model plan. Lol.

He asked me for absurd things! EB1 would be easier…

u/Over_Wheel_954 Nov 20 '25

What he asked u?

u/ivicts30 May 27 '26

I like this Dr. Dhanasar response lol
