Responding to a Request for Evidence? USCIS accepts fax for specific case actions. Send to the number on your notice, and get a US number so they can reach you back — from any country.

Use the fax number on your USCIS notice
USCIS does not accept general fax filings — but it does accept fax for specific case actions, most commonly responding to a Request for Evidence (RFE) or a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). The correct fax number, the service center, and the response deadline are all printed on your notice. Use that number — it routes your evidence to the officer handling your case.
Lead with your receipt number
On your cover sheet, put your USCIS receipt number (the IOE / EAC / WAC / SRC / MSC number from your notice) and your A-number if you have one. This is what matches your fax to your pending case before the deadline. Include a copy of the RFE notice itself as the first page.
Send your evidence — free for small responses
Upload your response (PDF or photos of documents) and enter the fax number from your notice. Small responses send free within your monthly free pages; larger evidence packets — affidavits, translations, financial evidence — are a few cents a page. Track delivery in real time so you have proof it went through before the deadline.
Keep a US number for the reply
USCIS and its service centers may fax back — a decision, or a further request. If you are filing from outside the US, a dedicated FaxTerra number gives you a US line that receives those replies in your email as a PDF, wherever you live. See getting a US fax number from abroad.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fax my USCIS RFE response?
Yes, when your Request for Evidence lists a fax number. USCIS accepts fax for specific case actions like RFE and NOID responses. Use the exact fax number printed on your notice and respond before the deadline it gives.
What fax number do I use for USCIS?
There is no single USCIS fax number — it depends on the service center handling your case. The correct number is printed on your RFE or notice. Do not use a general USCIS number; use the one on your notice so it reaches the right officer.
What should I put on the cover sheet?
Your USCIS receipt number (IOE / EAC / WAC / SRC / MSC), your A-number if you have one, and your name. Include the RFE notice as the first page so your evidence is matched to your case.
Can I fax USCIS from outside the United States?
Yes. FaxTerra works from any country — you can respond to a USCIS RFE from abroad, and a dedicated US number lets you receive any reply. See our guide to getting a US fax number from abroad.
Is FaxTerra affiliated with USCIS?
No. FaxTerra is an independent online fax service and is not affiliated with USCIS or the US government. We deliver your documents to the fax number on your notice and receive the reply for you. For legal advice, consult a licensed immigration attorney.
