RFE drafter

A Request for Evidence (RFE) lands when USCIS wants more before it decides. The RFE drafter turns that notice into a structured, evidence-backed response — written on your firm’s letterhead — so you can answer each point USCIS raised without rebuilding the letter from scratch every time.

How it works

1. Start from the RFE. Tell the drafter what USCIS asked for.
2. Draft the response. Fola produces an organized response that addresses each point the RFE raised, on your firm’s letterhead.
3. Back each point with evidence. Upload the supporting documents inline, right where they belong in the response.
4. Finalize and sign. Lock the response and sign it, ready to submit to USCIS.

Evidence-backed, point by point

A good RFE response answers every item USCIS flagged and ties each answer to a document. The drafter is built around that: the response is organized by the points in the RFE, and each point carries the evidence that supports it — so the reviewing officer can follow your answer straight to the proof.

Inline evidence upload

You don’t leave the drafter to gather your exhibits. Upload supporting documents inline, attached to the specific point they back up. Everything you add is also saved to the client’s Documents vault, so the evidence lives with the matter, not just with this one letter.

Pull evidence the client already gave you

If the client already uploaded the document through their portal or you collected it on the Documents tab, you don’t need to ask again — reuse what’s already on the file as the exhibit for the matching RFE point.

On your firm letterhead

The response carries your firm’s letterhead — your logo, your firm name and address from Settings → Brand — so the document that reaches USCIS reads as your firm’s work product, not a generic form.

Finalize and sign

When the response is complete, finalize it to lock the content, then sign. The signed, finalized response saves to the client’s file ready to submit. As with any drafting tool here, review the full response before you finalize — it’s a drafting aid, not a substitute for the filing attorney’s judgment.

Mind the RFE deadline

RFEs carry a hard response deadline — miss it and the case can be denied. Draft, gather evidence, and finalize with time to spare; don’t let the deadline arrive with the response still open.
