I-485: What “Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received” Means

USCIS has logged your RFE response back into the case. The file returns to the adjudication queue, now with the additional evidence attached, and waits for an officer to review the complete record.

Good to do now

  • Keep your proof of delivery with the case records.
  • Expect another waiting period. The response re-enters a queue rather than going straight to an officer.
  • Compare your wait against the live band above, which is measured from cases currently in this status.

Frequently asked questions

How long after an RFE response does a decision come?
There is no fixed timeline. The live numbers above show how long current cases have been sitting in this status for your form.
Does this status confirm my response was sufficient?
No. It only confirms receipt. Sufficiency is judged during adjudication.
Can I send more evidence after this status appears?
Generally USCIS expects one complete response. Unsolicited additional filings may not be matched to the file; check the RFE instructions.
