Hi everyone,
On July 17, 2025, USCIS issued a Request for Initial Evidence (RFE) for my Diversity Visa (DV) Adjustment of Status case, requesting the original copy of my birth certificate. I sent the requested document via FedEx on July 22, 2025, and it was delivered to USCIS on July 23, 2025, signed for by “M. William.”
Typically, applicants in similar DV cases who respond to RFEs are notified by USCIS within approximately 10 days that their response has been received. However, it has now been over two weeks since my package was delivered, and my USCIS case status still shows “We have sent a request for initial evidence,” with no update confirming receipt or processing.
The Diversity Visa program operates on a strict fiscal year deadline, and I am deeply concerned that this delay in updating my case could jeopardize the timely adjudication of my application before the September 30, 2025 deadline, potentially resulting in the loss of my visa eligibility despite my prompt compliance.
What should I do, I am hopeless!
It is the Houston field office
