Navigating the Fog: Strategic Responses to USCIS Employment-Based RFEs and Denials

Hodgson Russ Partner David Wilks spoke on the panel “Navigating the Fog: Strategic Responses to USCIS Employment-Based RFEs and Denials” at the 39th Annual AILA California Chapters Conference. The panel examined recent trends in employment-based adjudications, including requests for evidence, notices of intent to deny, and denials, as well as strategies for responding to atypical requests and preserving the record. The discussion also covered post-denial options, including refiling, motions to reopen or reconsider, administrative appeals, and federal court litigation.
