This USCIS Policy Memorandum provides guidance on procedures for issuing Requests for Evidence (RFE) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID) for the adjudication of petitions, applications, and other requests to include VAWA Self-Petitions.The RFE and NOID process gives adjudicators an opportunity to request additional evidence “to determine whether each of the essential element has been satisfied by the applicable standard of proof” at page 2 for VAWA self-petitioners the standard is “any credible evidence”. The RFE and NOID is a mechanism built into the VAWA self-petitioning process which affords officers an additional prospect to identify deception and at the same time allows immigrant victims an opportunity to supplement an application with additional information or provide an explanation to cure a deficiency to show eligibility.
