USCIS may at any time request a “Request for Evidence” (RFE). This means that the USCIS officer reviewing your application needs more information and is requesting documentation to determine your eligibility for the visa type or benefit that you have applied for.
Within the RFE, Harrisburg University may be asked to submit documentation regarding your enrollment and maintenance of F-1 status.
If you receive an RFE and determine the need for a response from the ISO, please follow the instructions below:
- Submit a request in the Terra Dotta System and be sure to upload a copy of your official RFE notice. Every RFE is unique, and HU will work on providing the specific documentation required from the school.
- A processing fee of $250 is required for RFE's which covers all administrative costs associated with preparing the comprehensive HU RFE Response Package. The Business Office will place the fee on your student account. Please allow 5 business days for the charge to post.
- An electronic copy of your RFE Response Package will be sent to your HU email address within 10 business days after your payment has been received.
When you are ready to submit your request, please login to the Terra Dotta System and navigate to the Request Center to find the Request for Evidence request. We recommend that students access Terra Dotta through a desktop/laptop device, as mobile compatibility is limited.
Please note that your full name and address will appear in your RFE response package. If your address has changed, please make sure this is updated with the Records and Registration office before submitting your request.
Note: If you would like to add additional documents to your RFE, you may do so at your own discretion. However, any additional documentation must be provided from your personal records.
Professors and other offices at HU do not process RFE document requests for students. Per HU policy, please do not reach out to other offices or professors regarding RFE documentation.
