Case Processing

Responded to the SAME NOID twice (500+ pages of evidence) — deadline is today and USCIS still shows no update
Hi everyone, I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has dealt with something similar or has insight into what might happen next. This is a marriage-based case. I received a NOID in May 2025 and responded fully. Then in December 2025, USCIS issued the exact same NOID again — same issues, same wording — as if my first response was never reviewed. I responded again to the second NOID. The response was delivered and confirmed, but USCIS has not updated my case to show the response was received. Today is the NOID deadline, which is extremely stressful given that I complied. Evidence submitted (over 500 pages total): Leases (2023, 2024, 2025) Joint bank statements Birth certificates State IDs with matching address Renter’s insurance showing both names Affidavits of support notarized Joint tax return (2024) Car insurance (2022–2025) Photos spanning our relationship Proof of joint utility (FPL) Phone bills Marriage certificate I also included a detailed written rebuttal addressing each point raised in the NOID and a relationship timeline. What concerns me most: USCIS issued a duplicate NOID My second response is not marked as received The deadline is today, despite confirmed delivery Has anyone: Received the same NOID twice? Had USCIS fail to acknowledge a NOID response before the deadline? Seen approvals or further action after this kind of delay? Any experiences, advice, or suggestions (service request, congressional inquiry, Ombudsman, etc.) would be really appreciated. Thank you.

The new sponsor after the merger does not continue to sponsor ew3
Season’s greetings and best wishes for the New Year to everyone. I would like to seek professional guidance regarding my employment-based immigration case (EB-3/EW3). My I-140 petition is currently in “Processing” status, with a total pending time of 134 days. However, my Labor Certification (LC) is approaching its expiration date on January 21, 2026. The sponsoring company has ceased operations due to a merger into a larger corporation, and the acquiring company has decided not to continue sponsoring my EB-3/EW3 petition. I would appreciate clarification on the following points: 1. If my current I-140 petition is approved, will I be able to retain my Priority Date (PD) if I later secure sponsorship from a different employer in the same or a similar occupation? 2. In that scenario, would I be required to file a new I-140 petition with the new employer and proceed through the process again, including DS-260 filing and consular interview, in order to complete the immigration process? 3. Conversely, if my I-140 is not approved due to the employer’s withdrawal or dissolution, would my Priority Date be lost entirely, requiring me to restart the process from the beginning with a new employer? I would be very grateful for insights from experienced professionals or individuals who have encountered similar situations. Kindly note that I am not seeking advice from intermediaries or agents, as their guidance has been limited and unhelpful, and this situation has caused me significant concern. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
