You may be LOL-ing now, but immigration is no laughing matter.

They have already 'told' you what they require and you are aware: prove your relationship is bonafide in your response

Can you not write a letter proving your relationship is true and genuine? 😕

I didn’t say it is a laughing matter! And yes! I can and have written a letter. Again, I was merely asking for format suggestions.

Do you mean the rebuttal?   As other have stated it is case specific.   Organization is key.   The NOIR has listed  points from the counselors notes.  I listed our rebuttal in the same order beginning each number with the point in the NOIR and finishing with our response and/or listing evidence.   I compiled my evidence behind the rebuttal and numbered them to make it easier to match them up.  

Here are some formatting examples, not specifically to the immigration however I think that the actual guideline is appropriate for most rebuttals. Others can chime in with their thoughts............

• One main point I read was don't accuse, rather make them understand with you written response and supporting evidence
• Also coordinate your evidence in the order of each point you respond to. 
• Be sure to highlight the important facts in the evidence that support your case
• I also agree that you should  be sure to include what Ahmed&Freda said

You're welcome!   I also recommend that in any letter that also poses as a sworn statement you add the under penalty and perjury statement.  

 

"I declare under penalty and perjury that all the above is true and correct."

How Do You Format a Rebuttal Letter?

A typical rebuttal letter contains the following issues:

Name of the Addressed

The addressed is the person whom you are writing the letter to. It is this person whom you have a dispute with and whom you would like to set the records straight. This person could be a trader, teacher, lawyer, friend, or employer, to mention but a few!

Date

All written communications have to be dated for the sake of easy future reference. This is why it is imperative that you include the date on the letter. Needless to say, the date has to truly reflect the actual time and day you wrote the letter.

Main Body

This is the most important portion of the letter. It is this portion that contains the arguments that you are putting forth to counter the initial allegations or accusations. It is necessary to be concise and courteous throughout. Any deviation from this standard may often inflict undesirable consequences.

Your Name and Signature

Lastly, you have to write your name underneath the letter. This is proof that you are the one who authored the letter and are hence in agreement with its contents. You also have to append your signature in between your name and the closing remarks.

How Do You Write a Rebuttal Letter?

While drafting the letter, there are some things you have to care about. In the first paragraph of the letter, you have to identify yourself. You have to draw a connection between the person you are addressing and you.

For instance, if you are addressing your tutor, remind him of who you are and how the two of you are related. This will let him ‘get the point’ much faster than he would. It also eliminates unnecessary ambiguities given that he handles many students at a time and may hence not be in the position to recall you in person.

In the second paragraph of the letter, you have to officially deny the decision reached beforehand. This could take the forms of official complaints of the service or a repudiation of an earlier assertion. While at it, you have to provide tangible proof and evidence to back up your allegations or stance.

Lastly, in the final paragraph, you have to lodge a formal request in pursuance to the issues you had identified earlier. This could take the forms of a refund, a reconsideration of an earlier stance, or a review of the decision altogether. Finish the letter by signing and dating it.

 

Tips for Writing a Rebuttal Letter

• Always be polite and professional. Remember, that even though you may be in disagreement with your employer, they will be more receptive to your point of view if you present your point in an open and amicable way.
• Specifically address the points that you disagree with. Your employer will need to know exactly where the discrepancies in their evaluation and your opinion lie.
• Provide Evidence. If you are in disagreement with your employer, they don’t only want to hear why you feel that way, they want to see it. If you provide solid visible evidence, there is little that they can do to dispute your argument.
• Close with a brief summary of your rebuttal. You want to make sure that your key points are driven home

my above reply was too abrupt and i just spent over an hour searching the internet every which way possible with questions like "how do i write a letter to respond to a NOIR?"

every site took me to an attorney that explained what a NOIR was

 

the very best thing i read is the following:

 

The Consular Officer explains the negative information in writing and sends the file back to the United States. USCIS evaluates those concerns and will then issue a Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR). The NOIR details the problems encountered at the visa interview – maybe there was conflicting information or the foreign national doesn’t know enough about the U.S. citizen.

Typically, you have 30 days to respond to the NOIR. You have to show USCIS why your I-130 petition should stay approved and why the Consular Officer made the wrong decision. If you’re successful, the case will be sent back to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate and a second visa interview will be arranged.

 

it goes on to say 

you have only 30 days and that means USCIS must receive the letter and proofs within 30 days (not a day longer)

and that this is your only chance to submit proofs of the relationship that USCIS will not look at anything mailed after the 30 days (or in separate letters)

 

I had a NOID not NOIR so i wrote a good brief and i numbered the 2 issues (did not know what books i  read and would make me convert to Islam)

then i outlined my answers and sent rebuttal with proofs sending  in emails dated years before that interview showing he did not request me to convert and that we talked about the difference in literature (even explaining the word literature) between the 2 countries 

 

I find that emails prove a lot more than chats as the date of the email is easily seen

good luck to you

Thank you! That is very helpful also... I think I have a pretty good idea of how to proceed.

I have been searching for the same answer.  Our case was returned to USCIS and I suspect we will receive NOIR as well, we just haven't yet but I want to be prepared for it. 

Best Wishes on this journey, it may be long, it may be bumpy ....... but it is worth it!☺️

I just came across your post, and have been searching for this. my husband's visa was recently denied and was told his case will be sent back to USCIS for recommendations to revoke petition. I know USCIS will send me NOIR/NOID, my question is how long did it take after the interview for you receive the NOIR from them?
