Preparing for Denials and NOIDs Without RFE

However, in certain situations—such as when the initial evidence is plainly insufficient—USCIS may deny outright without first issuing an RFE or NOID. It’s now especially important to submit complete applications up front, including all required evidence and documentation, update your address if changed, and keep copies of everything. If a denial is issued without an RFE or NOID, you may still be able to respond via Form I-290B (Motion to Reopen) and gather supporting affidavits or other evidence showing that you did not receive a prior notice or that the deficiency could have been cured.
