hi friends welcome to another
immigration 101 video before I get
started I want to tell you guys thank
you thank you thank you thank you so
very much for subscribing to my youtube
channel if you want to see more of these
videos if you're enjoying what you're
getting from me if you're learning if
you feel like hey I'm getting something
from her I like her I feel her energy
her vibes whatever you want to call it
go ahead and subscribe to my youtube
channel and let's just stay connected
now let's get to the issue the question
that is at hand in this video and that
question is what in the world should you
do if you receive a letter from the
government asking you for additional
evidence these are called requests for
additional evidence and your letter may
very well say a request for initial
evidence and basically it's the same
thing what's happening is that you filed
your petition or your application and
the government simply does not have
enough information from you to process
your petition or application or your
missing documents or they just have
various questions about the information
that you've submitted they will send you
an RFP a request for additional evidence
now don't panic I know that when you get
a letter like that you think oh my god
I've messed up oh my god I shouldn't
have done it on my own oh my god what's
happening oh my god the lawyer must have
messed up friends relax relax
because it happens okay and now under
our current president you should know
this under President Trump they are
making it a little harder a little bit
more difficult for folks okay meaning
that they are now sending out letters
for additional evidence regarding some
very minor things really in some cases
it's just ridiculous okay so but don't
panic just read the letter carefully and
certainly if you don't understand it
talk to a lawyer don't do this on your
own do not respond on your own if you
don't fully understand what the letter
is asking you for
okay now the second thing you need to do
is pay attention to the due date the
response date because if you don't
respond by the time that they tell you
to respond they can deny your petition
or your application outright they can do
so so make sure you understand whether
you have a 30-day deadline 45 days 60
days 187 days whatever it may be pay
attention to that deadline and then
thirdly get started on the response as
soon as possible
you don't want to sit on this one you
don't want to wait until the last minute
because it takes time to thoughtfully
prepare and gather the documents and
information that the government is
asking you for
so in summary take the request for
additional evidence letter very very
very seriously but do not panic work
with an attorney on the response if you
don't understand how to respond to it
and thirdly get started right away do
not sit on it don't sit on it friends
you don't want to miss that deadline and
then lastly whatever documents and
information you compile to send back to
the government make a copy of it keep it
for yourself and also make a copy of
that letter the request for additional
evidence make a copy of that letter keep
everything don't ever send the
government anything without keeping a
copy for yourself keep your file okay
because you want to have proof that you
had indeed submitted the required
information on time you want to track it
by the way with your mail and you want
to do certified mailing or something
like that in which you can track the
fact that you submitted it and what date
it was submitted and that it was signed
for you want to keep track of all of
that okay in the event they deny you
because they did not receive your
documents or your information in time so
