USCIS is experiencing a significant increase in Requests for Evidence (RFEs) for employment-based petitions as we approach 2026. Employers and foreign nationals are encountering RFEs that are not only more frequent but also longer and often less coherent, indicating a troubling trend in the adjudication process.
Key Details:
- Surge in RFEs noted as of late 2025, continuing into 2026.
- RFEs are reported to be longer and less clear, with many using boilerplate language.
- Premium processing cases are increasingly being denied after expedited review.
- Employers and petitioners are advised to be vigilant and prepared to address these challenges in their applications.
This shift in USCIS’s review process could significantly impact the ability of foreign nationals to secure employment-based visas. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
