Immigration applications involve dozens of form numbers. Here is a quick reference for the most common forms so you know exactly what you are merging and in what order it belongs.
Filed by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to establish the qualifying relationship with a foreign national family member. The first step in most family-based cases.
The green card application for applicants adjusting status inside the U.S. Filed concurrently with I-130 if a visa number is immediately available.
Required for most family-based and some employment-based cases. The sponsor must demonstrate income at or above 125% of the federal poverty guidelines for their household size.
Filed to obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD / work permit). Typically filed concurrently with I-485 for adjustment of status applicants.
Used to request advance parole (permission to travel outside the U.S. while I-485 is pending) or a re-entry permit for permanent residents traveling long-term abroad.
Completed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. Must be sealed in the original envelope and submitted with I-485. Valid for 2 years from the civil surgeon's signature date.
Filed by conditional permanent residents (2-year green card holders) within the 90-day window before the card expires to obtain a 10-year permanent green card.
Filed to apply for U.S. citizenship. Requires 5 years as a permanent resident (3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), continuous residence, and good moral character.
Filed by individuals already in the U.S. seeking protection based on persecution in their home country. Must be filed within one year of arrival unless an exception applies.
Filed by a U.S. employer to sponsor a foreign worker for a permanent employment-based green card. The basis for EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 categories.
A Request for Evidence (RFE) means USCIS needs more information before deciding your case. A well-organized response package — submitted as a single clear PDF — significantly improves your chances of approval without further delay.
Always start with a cover letter stating your name, A-number, receipt number, form type, and the date of the RFE. List each piece of evidence you are providing and which RFE ground it addresses. An organized index makes the officer's job faster and your case stronger.
Include a copy of the RFE notice itself immediately after your cover letter. USCIS officers process high volumes — having the RFE in the package ensures the reviewer has the context for what you are responding to without hunting for it.
Organize your evidence in the same order as the RFE's grounds. Each section should have a mini-header or tab indicating which issue it addresses. For relationship RFEs: joint financials, lease agreements, photos, communications. For income RFEs: updated tax return, pay stubs, employer letter.
A sworn declaration from the petitioner and/or beneficiary explaining the facts — especially for relationship or employment-based RFEs — adds credibility beyond documentary evidence alone. Write it in plain language, address the specific concern, and have it signed under penalty of perjury.
Some RFEs require updated versions of forms (e.g., a new I-864 if the sponsor's income changed) or a corrected I-693 if the medical exam has expired. Always use the current edition of the form from uscis.gov — USCIS rejects outdated editions.
USCIS typically gives 87 days to respond to an RFE. The postmark date counts for mailed responses. For online filings, the response deadline is shown in your USCIS account. Late responses result in denial based on the record as it stands — do not miss the deadline.
Passport numbers. Social Security numbers. Tax records. Medical histories. Bank statements. This is exactly what identity thieves target — and it is all in a typical immigration application package.
That means your documents sit on servers in unknown locations, accessible to employees, subject to data breaches, and retained for months after you close the tab.
