Q: Sent General Correspondence to USCIS Before RFE Notice Delivered

After 40 days, my RFE Notice Letter regarding EB-1A case just delivered yesterday. On the 20th day, I sent a physical letter to USCIS Texas Sevice Center notifying them that the RFE had not been received yet ( done in addition to the online method instructed ).

Also, on my account, it says we have received your correspondence, referring to that letter; it was just a letter merely to inform them that RFE had not been received and the petitioner is concerned that the RFE was not received.

Does this mean that I could NOT send my response to the USCIS anymore?

The letter clearly delivered to them 20 days earlier than when RFE delivered to me.

Really appreciate if you enlighten me regarding this matter.

A: You can respond to the RFE as long as it is before the given deadline to respond (listed in the RFE). Best wishes!
