5 Tips to Help Avoid Getting Your Immigration Case REJECTED

Editor:

 

In this blog post, we will be sharing five tips to help avoid getting your immigration case rejected by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A rejected case is different from a denied case, as the former means that USCIS did not even review the merits of the case due to improper filing, while the latter means that USCIS has reviewed the case and found the applicant ineligible.

 

1. Updated Forms

 

Tip number one is to make sure to file the immigration application or petition using the most recent, correct, version of the form required for the case. USCIS regularly updates their forms, so it’s crucial to use the current version to avoid rejection.

 

2. Correct Filing Fees

 

Tip number two is to ensure that the correct filing fees are paid for the case. USCIS regularly updates and changes filing fees, and submitting an incorrect fee will likely result in rejection. Review the instructions and find out the precise amount required for the specific filing. Please note that the same form can be used for multiple types of filings, so be certain the fees are correct.

 

3. Signatures

 

Tip number three is to sign in the appropriate places for the immigration case. Missing signatures can lead to rejection, so make sure to properly sign the application or petition. It’s also important to sign correctly. USCIS will reject forms containing e-signatures.

 

4. Filing Address

 

Tip number four is to submit the case to the correct address. USCIS has multiple addresses for accepting applications, and submitting the case to the wrong address can result in rejection. Carefully follow the instructions for the specific case type and submit the application to the correct address.

 

5. Forms

 

Tip number five is to fill out the immigration forms thoroughly and correctly answer all the questions. It’s important to answer all questions as thoroughly as possible. Leaving blank spaces on the forms may lead to rejection. In fact, in certain situations, it’s best practice to write in “N/A” instead of leaving an entry as blank.

 

It’s not unreasonable for someone without much experience in handling immigration matters to make these mistakes. Hiring an immigration lawyer can be instrumental in avoiding a rejection. Although it’s not required, an immigration lawyer can guide and assist with the immigration process to avoid mistakes and ensure a smoother process.

 

In conclusion, by following these tips, one can help to avoid getting their immigration case rejected by USCIS. It’s essential to use the correct version of the form, pay the correct filing fees, sign in the appropriate places (and do so properly), submit to the correct address, and fill out the forms thoroughly and correctly.

We had an incredible experience working with Ashoori Law for our E2 visa application and we got approved. Shruti Bali, was our assigned attorney, she was exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. Nicole, our franchise consultant, provided amazing guidance in helping us choose the right business path and was a great support from start to finish. Patricia crafted a thorough and professional business plan that was instrumental to our approval. Special thanks to Ehsan, who coordinated everything seamlessly — making what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and stress-free. We’re truly grateful to the entire team at Ashoori Law for helping us achieve this milestone! We will be using them for our future needs and also already started recommending to our friends.

I would like to thank Ashoori Law for the approval I just received for my E2 visa. My file was factually and personally complicated, but due to my assigned attorney, Mr. Pardeep Singh’s, diligence, attention to detail, patience, and expertise, he was able to put together an outstanding application. His professionalism continued all the way through to preparing me for the interview and having the benefit of watching Michael Ashoori’s E2 interview prep YouTube video was also extremely helpful. To anyone thinking about filing for any type of visa application, I strongly recommend hiring Ashoori Law. They get results!

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support I received from this law office. From the very first call, they showed genuine sympathy and understanding of my situation, which made me feel truly cared for. Every time I reached out, Mr.Ehsan Mehri answered promptly and patiently, always taking the time to explain things clearly and guide me through each step. His constant presence and reassurance made a huge difference during a stressful time - it felt like he were right beside us, every step of the way. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for not just professional expertise, but also heartfelt compassion and unwavering support.
