I made a Bone-Head mistake

Use FedEx next time...You gotta love this form...such a pro.

The only way they send you a text message is if you include the notification page with what you sent. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-1145.pdf you would fill this out and attach it to the top of your pages. in this case then you will get a text/email message. if you did not include this, you wont get a text message.

Never had anything lost in the mail everythinf arrives on time. Sent lots of stuff to china for my wife she always got sooner or on the date they said she would and was much cheaper too than ups or fed ex.

USPS is good about delivery, but their tracking system sucks.

When you send something certified or registered, add a day or two onto the delivery time.

[jojolicious 38]

At least you can rest easy now knowing that it was delivered and enjoy the holidays

[GringoD 33]

Yes you do get a text message when they receive an RFE

Nope. No text here.... upon receipt of MY RESPONSE. But, they received my response to rfe on the 16th of Dec.

Oh, well.... hope all's well... in Vermont.

I bought some of their Pure Maple Syrup yesterday,... just as a token of good will

Thanks Jen.

Sounds like some clarification.

I sent one of those forms upon initial application and was thinking they would send text/email with every touch, then.

NOT! Okay.

it actually only took 3 days.

acceptable in my book.

But then, still... I'd have sent it NEXT DAY DELIVERY... had I not been thinking about other things at the time.

I'm not a good MULTI-TASKER

OP asks:

"QUESTION: Does USCIS ALSO send text message/email upon receipt of a response to an RFE?"

Answer: I just did receive a text message from the USCIS, saying that my case is now UPDATED, Check My Case Status at uscis.gov.

The website simply says they received my response to the RFE on December 19th.

So, for some of you, like me, always wondering about the LAG TIMES at the USCIS, ... they actually RECEIVED the response in the mail, on December 16th (unless, of course, the post guy at the local post office told me wrongly a few days ago, when I went there to check/have him track my Certified Mail ticket no.),.......

...... and just a few moments ago, today being the 22nd, they text me and post on their website that they received the response on the 19th.

(Of course! I nearly pissed in my pants, upon seeing the text message from the USCIS, thinking that possibly ALREADY, they had REVIEWED the response evidence and GRANTED APPROVAL.. )

Be sure to post WHY you got the RFE in the appropriate thread for everyone else!

I made a Bone Head mistake last Tuesday when sending in my Responses to the RFE!

Sure! I sent it certified mail, return receipt requested.

But in my haste, mixed with always a bit of anxiety that so many of us experience when sending/responding/communicating with

USCIS,... I meant to, but didn't ALSO tell the postal worker: NEXT DAY DELIVERY!

So,... it's been a week, and I'm still waiting.

That seems a bit long, Louisiana to Vermont.

I'm gonna call uscis and/or go talk to the post office today.

QUESTION: Does USCIS ALSO send text message/email upon receipt of a response to an RFE?

thanks for your help and Best Wishes for the Holiday Season!

Yes, we got a text notifying us that there was a change. We looked on the USCIS website and saw that they notated that they received the RFE response.
