what would happen if you ignore a rfe?

well, we were SUPPOSED to have received the RFE in Jan.2005, but for whatever reason, we never received it... Almost 10mths later, that's when we finally found out what USCIS wanted in their RFE and so we sent them what they required.. My case was only "put on hold" until we responded to their RFE..

i still would suggest responing to the RFE asap, bcz i think that a file put on hold too long, leads to a denial.

One of the attorneys that posts on another site has this to say about an RFE..

You have three responses to an RFE...

1) Process the paperwork on what you have as I have nothing to add.

2) Process the paperwork on having only partially what you asked for

3) Process the paperwork on having everything that you asked for

Not responding to an RFE is not one of them... and he stated that they get really pissed if you don't respond. Always results in a denial and makes it very hard for one to appeal it or re-open the case...

How can immigration NOT be their first priority... every else is hopeless if they get sent packing home because it wasn't their first priority. I can understand about the job... but there will be no job if you get sent back home...

I agree with ziggy. If you do nothing and get denied, you would have so much more trouble, that your current "issues" would seem like nothing.
