How to confirm that USCIS received my RFE response for EB-2 NIW?

There are two fronts for confirming that USCIS received your response to the RFE (Request for Evidence) in an EB-2 NIW case: securing proof of delivery at the time of mailing and then monitoring the case itself through the official system. Each step complements the other.

When mailing your response, use a service that provides tracking and signed delivery confirmation, such as USPS, FedEx, or UPS. Keep the postage receipt, tracking number, and delivery confirmation: these documents prove that your response was sent and reached the address specified in the RFE.

• Always send via a trackable method and keep all proof of mailing on file.
• Monitor your case receipt number on Case Status Online, on the USCIS website, to see when receipt of your response is recorded.
• If the information does not update or questions arise, contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center.

Keeping an organized record of every submission and contact helps prevent complications and allows you to track progress with confidence. Since systems and procedures may change, always verify the current status and guidance directly with USCIS.
