Case Was Rejected
USCIS rejected your application. It was not accepted into the system.
A rejection is different from a denial. Your application was not entered into USCIS systems, usually due to missing signature, incorrect fee, or filing the wrong form version. Your package and fee (minus a small processing fee) will be returned.

?Frequently Asked Questions
Can USCIS Request a Second RFE?
Yes, USCIS can issue multiple RFEs if the first response is insufficient or if new issues arise during review. However, this is uncommon. More typically, if the first RFE response is inadequate, USCIS may issue a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) rather than a second RFE.
