Topic: Is NOID coming as RFE?

Online message was "Request for Additional Evidence Sent", but the paper said "Notice of Intent to Deny". Major piece was a letter from previous employer, I submitted a letter on plain paper from a colleague, at that time of NOID, I had to contact a parent company of the employer (worked for subsidiary which was closed) to get a detailed letter from them. Other items on NOID were: A2P, explain labor substitution.

No info since.

Topic: Is NOID coming as RFE?

it says clearly Notice of Intent to Deny right before the text - in bold letter - you can't miss it.

Topic: Is NOID coming as RFE?

If you read their manual (Adjudicator something field something manual), you'll see that the biggest difference between the two is that a NOID has a short window to reply - 30 days (vs 90 for RFE) and it's main point is to give you a "cold shower" of sort so you can reply faster and prepare a crispier reply, because it can as well mean that they are not sure about your case, that is the documentation is incomplete, they have derogatory information, etc.

Well, either way, be ready, they can deny your case after RFE and approve after NOID - all depends on particular situation of you case.

Hopefully, we'll all get what we want. Happy New Year!

Topic: Is NOID coming as RFE?


Dear All,

I want to know if NOID(Notice of Intent to Deny) comes as RFE.
I mean when you see you got RFE (request for additional evidence), at the time you receive the RFE mail, it can be NOID?
Or NOID is itself a status which will be shown on USCIS website and does not have any relation to RFE.

Thanks!



Yes, I had one of those. You'll see RFE, but it can be NOID - the only difference is that you have a tighter time frame.

Topic: Anyone successful with MTR on I-485 when I-140 is in appeals office?

I saw this - hopefully this lawyer knows what he is talking about.

Topic: Anyone successful with MTR on I-485 when I-140 is in appeals office?

I heard that it's doable, as a matter of fact there was a guy here on trackitt who said that he did in - he was able to re-instate his EAD/AP thru MTR for i-485 based on I-140 pending with AAO. However, my attorney is saying that based on her experience, you have to have I-140 approved by AAO before you can file for I-485.

My I-140 has been pending for a while after an RFE and I'm getting ready for a denial, appeal and MTR.

Hopefully, somebody will share his/her experience.

Topic: Employers want two years contract after I-140 approval.

they may say in return that you have no itention of staying with them after receiving your GC, since you don't want to sign the contract, therefore the whole sponsorship for the GC is null and void.

Topic: after RFE


Even my case was stuck with USCIS after responding to RFE. Finally with the help of murthy law firm, i got my approval recently. The law firm is bit expensive, but they got my case expediated.

www.murthy.com is the website.
