Frequently asked questions
What should a letter of explanation include?
Who you are, what you're addressing, why it happened, and what evidence you're attaching, one page, factual, no filler.
When do I need an LOE?
Any time something in your application needs context an officer can't infer, a gap, a name difference, an unusual fund transfer, a prior refusal.
