Correspondence Was Received And USCIS Is Reviewing It

In progress

What it means

USCIS received something you or your attorney sent about the case, such as a letter, an update or extra documents, and is looking at it.

What happens next

Nothing is needed from you unless USCIS asks. The case continues, and the next update depends on what you sent and where the case was.

Informational only, not legal advice. Go by the notice USCIS sent you, and confirm deadlines and options with USCIS or an immigration attorney.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What counts as correspondence?+

Anything sent to USCIS about the case outside a formal response: a letter, an address or attorney change, a request, or extra documents.

Is this the same as an RFE response?+

No. A response to a Request for Evidence normally shows as 'Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received'. This status covers other mail about the case.

Do I need to do anything now?+

No, unless USCIS writes back asking for something.
