EB-1A NOID , Timeline and Reason
I filed an EB-1A I-140 and recently received a NOID. My USCIS case history shows:
- Apr 20: I-140 received and receipt notice sent
- Apr 22: Case actively reviewed; records showed nothing outstanding
- Apr 30: USCIS cancelled a request for additional evidence
- After that, I received a NOID at home
The unusual part is that the NOID repeatedly states “no evidence was provided” across multiple criteria, including some criteria that we did not even claim. My attorney said this is unusual and one possibility is that USCIS may not have reviewed the full evidence packet, or some evidence may not have been properly scanned/linked/received.
Has anyone experienced something similar where USCIS said “no evidence provided” even though the original petition included evidence? Did you respond by resubmitting the full petition/evidence package? What happened after the NOID response — approval, denial, RFE, or refile?
I am trying to understand real experiences and best practices before finalizing the NOID response with my attorney.
Thank you.
