Section 1
The premise
RFE responses fail when narrative gets ahead of evidence; AI scaffolds the narrative against the evidence list so nothing slips through.
What AI does well here
- Draft the legal argument section keyed to the regulation cited in the RFE
- Generate the evidentiary index showing each assertion → exhibit
- Draft expert opinion letter outlines for the petitioner to send to academics
- Produce the cover letter and table of contents for the response packet
What AI cannot do
- Replace immigration counsel for petitions involving fraud allegations or prior denials
- Predict adjudicator-specific tendencies
- Substitute for primary-source verification of cited regulations
