I-765

Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent

Work permit (EAD)

What this means

USCIS needs more information before they can decide. An RFE (or NOID) was mailed — the clock is running against a deadline printed on the notice. This is serious but often fixable if you respond completely and on time.

What to do next

Read the notice the day it arrives. Gather every document they listed. Respond before the deadline — late or incomplete responses are a common reason cases stall or get denied. Consider a qualified immigration lawyer if the request is complex.
