Under current USCIS guidelines, officers can issue a direct decision without first sending a Request for Evidence (RFE) or a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). If an application contains sufficient evidence, it will be approved. However, if the submission contains incomplete or insufficient evidence, it faces an immediate denial. A denial can result in being placed into deportation proceedings in immigration court.
Evidence & Outcomes Summary
* Approval: Issued immediately when the initial application includes all required, legally sufficient supporting documents.
* Direct Denial: Issued without an RFE or NOID if the initial application fails to prove eligibility or is missing mandatory evidence.
* Removal Proceedings: Initiated following a denial by issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court.
