Introduction

Parley’s RFE Response Builder turns a USCIS Request for Evidence (RFE) into a structured, attorney‑ready response by aligning the officer’s comments to adjudicative criteria, generating a Word‑native draft, and assembling paginated exhibits. It builds on Parley’s evidence‑aware drafting and one‑click exhibit assembly used across employment‑based matters. See product background on the Parley website and coverage in Business Insider.

How it works

• Upload

• Drag‑and‑drop the RFE notice PDF and the original petition materials (support letters, forms, résumés, transcripts, offer letters, prior exhibits). Works even if the original petition was not prepared in Parley. July 2025 changelog

• Import from cloud storage and export to Microsoft Word or Google Docs, consistent with Parley’s Word‑native workflows. Parley site | LegalTechnologyHub profile

• Issue mapping (RFE Analyzer)

• Parley analyzes the officer’s comments, maps them to the relevant criteria, summarizes issues, lists what evidence was previously submitted, and suggests additional supporting documentation. A “call prep” analysis is generated immediately on upload. July 2025 changelog

• Draft generation

• Generates a structured response tailored to the RFE’s issues, citing the uploaded evidence. H‑1B RFEs include enhanced legal argumentation (e.g., specialty occupation) with data citations; reusable Playbooks let firms standardize winning arguments. June 2025 changelog

• Attorney review and style control

• Edit in Microsoft Word with Parley’s add‑in or export to Google Docs; apply firm‑specific voice and formatting before filing. Parley site | LegalTechnologyHub profile

• Exhibit assembly

• One‑click combines exhibits into a single PDF with a generated table of contents and continuous pagination, reducing Acrobat work. Parley site

• Tracking (optional)

• Toggle live USCIS status tracking by receipt number to confirm when an RFE response is received. June 2025 changelog
