RFE for K1 application

[Summerleaf 4]

Is is true that USCIS removed the RFE for K1 applicants? and will cause automatic denial of application if found lack of requirements? @Greenbaum

Previously, USCIS issued a NOID or outright denial only if there was a "no chance" standard of being eligible for the benefit being sought. This policy was revised to no longer issue RFEs for what are deemed "placeholder" applications.

 

RFEs are still being issued all the time. But they are less likely to occur when basic required documentation is missing.

 

Note: USCIS handled petitions, not visas. There are no K-1 applicants at USCIS. The K-1 comes into play later.

FWIW, if someone's reported an outright denial here (not a rejection due to providing an out of date form or missing payment or something like that, where they don't charge you) of an I-129F without an RFE since this policy change, it's news to me.

We had a RFE in January - our attorney missed a check box.  So they where still sending them out then.

Thank you for the answer. I posted because I failed to include the intent to marry letter as a beneficiary, only my fiancé was able to create his intent to marry. I was worried.

I received an RFE notice today. Well, a notification that one has been mailed. We were incredibly thorough in our application. Could be something simple like they need all pages of a divorce decree or a box that should be checked wasn’t. But long story long, we have an RFE so they are still handing them out.
