they can sand a NOID at any time, it doesn’t have to be only after an interview- an interview could be waived all together! If you husband have a SSC you can open a joint bank account, you don’t need a work permit for that. Have as many affidavits of support from close relatives and friends that you can get, especially from your family attesting to your relationship. What about a lease agreement? Affidavits from neighbours?

We have affidavits from friends, family and religious figures. We’re not very close to our neighbours and tend to keep to ourselves but I’m sure they see us come in and out regularly together from dates and shopping trips etc. so maybe they could help. I will ask them. The house is owned by my father and we live here rent free he has attested to this in his affidavit. He doesn’t have a social security card, how would we go about getting one without his work permit?

I’d like to add to the part that I think might help. I know my family had opened a bank account for a family member before without having SSC or work permit. Passport will be sufficient and tell the bank teller about your situation and see what they can do for you as for joint account. If not, I believe you can at least add an authorized user to you credit card under the spouse’s name with the citizenship and ask the credit card company to send you a proof ( with both primary card holder’s and authorized user’s names; believe it or not, they one time sent me one without authorized user’s name, I mean, what does that proof?!😒) letter. That would be considered joint financial responsibility as well at least along with your other evidence. If you have insurance that includes both of your names, that could be one as well. I read some people included all their concert tickets, or amusement parks ticket (that have your name on it) or events and such. Your photos, social media, text record, if there’s anything as such that proves you two spending time together doing things as couple, they all help. Car insurance with spouse name added. Life insurance with both of you covered…. etc. Good luck!

I looked up online, you need an ID number, which could be SSC or a ITIN number (there you go) to open a bank account, of course your name DOB and so on. But this might work if you can get your spouse that number if the bank doesn’t open for you without a SSC. Quote from the website: “If you don’t have a U.S. government-issued SSN or ITIN, some banks and credit unions will accept a passport number and country of issuance, an alien identification card number, or other government-issued ID number.” https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/can-i-get-a-checking-account-without-a-social-security-number-en-929/

if you have wellsfargo bank around you they will open it for you,that is where i opened mine i only gave them my passport and marriage certificate then my husband gave them his drivers license

I second on wellsfargo bank, that’s the same bank the family got the account open without the ssc.

Do not open a bank account or try to get any evidence post NOID date, all you evidence must be a s before filling and during the processing and not after the NOID date. get pictures with family and friends, affidavit and any document with date before the NOID. note:do not backdate your affidavits, since it is just a witness statement.

I don’t quite agree with not opening a bank just because it’s after NOID. I’m not a legal expert, but this is more common sense to me. Unlike insurance for example, you cannot have an injury and thinking to get an insurance so that you could get reimbursed for the medical charge. Relationship related evidence add up as it goes. Some people don’t think that they need to add their spouse to their car insurance once they get married, unless they both switched the insurance and decide to do so. Same as many other different things. If a couple don’t like to take pictures while dating, rather enjoy the time spending together, they won’t be able to go back time to take more pictures when asked for more evidence. The main post couldn’t open an account prior but it doesn’t mean they missed the only chance to proof, having effort to proof is more important than the date when. Plus many bring more evidence that they didn’t include while filing initially to their interview. If no one can bring evidence that are created or happened after the NOID date regarding insufficient evidence, how are they going to proof and get approved while the marriage is real? Separate forever or get the evidence and reapply and wait all over again? Isn’t NOID the time that you try to make effort and proof relationship is authentic? I’m not trying to argue, and this is only my understanding but I might be wrong or if there’s anyone who is legal representative, please enlighten us.

"a petitioner may not make material changes to a petition that has already been filed in an effort to make an apparently deficient petition conform to USCIS requirements. see Matter of Izumii, 22 I&N Dec. 169 (BIA 1998). I just gave you a golden advise. Do not start opening bank accounts at this stage and insurance at this stage. Just rely on affidavits and pictures, copies of letter received at the same address, anything with dates before that NOID date, if not you application will be denied.

I have affidavits after that date. I did file affidavits with my original application however since I received the NOID I assumed it wasn't enough (they said so themselves in the letter) so I asked for affidavits from more people. There is however, with my response lots of evidence prior to the date the NOID was received

What’s the context for this so called advice you quoted from? Does it apply to this case? I’m not saying who’s right or wrong, you gave a direct “instruction “ for people to NOT or to DO something, yet all cases are different. Your “advice” for example, most of the documents searched online indicating for work authorization or foreign investor. Couldn’t find the documents that included the phrase for a case for alien relative, though I wouldn’t say there’s none either. The evidence for such work authorization, of course would be more factual and not much could be changed and shouldn’t be after the submission. Even with marriage case, they’re not changing “facts”, they’re providing more evidences to help them make decisions. There are many references found that are too much to be put on here, from USCIS official websites or other legal help websites, I’m not posting here and won’t be arguing with you or respond to you. I think the main post should ask for legal advice instead of someone tell them what to do and indicating only doing so would work, otherwise end up being denied. All our posts are suppose to be experiences sharing and “suggestions”. And I apologize to @Adnaan Patel, I meant to help with my comments here, and not to pick up a fight with others. Hope that’s not causing you problem. I’d like to share this with @Adnaan Patel or whoever’s interested: https://www.khurgel.com/ive-received-a-notice-of-intent-to-deny-my-immigration-petition-noid-from-uscis-now-what/ “ The purpose of the NOID is to share insight with the applicant into the decision-making rationale behind their petition, so as ultimately to dissuade applicants from pursuing appeals or further legal motions in respect of the application at hand. The applicant is then invited to respond to the NOID by submitting a defense in response to the specific grounds for denial within a specified timeframe. Depending on the circumstances, for example, additional evidence may help to influence the outcome in favour of the applicant.” ~ https://www.nnuimmigration.com/noid/

@ Adnaan Patel I read again your post and thought that the information I came across earlier might help with your question on the RFE and NOID, and NOID doesn’t mean end of your case with deny decision, it’s another chance to provide more evidence. Good luck! Here’s the link: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-e-chapter-6

@SL I just gave him the likely reason for his denial if he makes the mistake of responding to his NOID with any event that occured after the NOID was issued, this is just common sense. if you look at the the I-130 online filling account, it is clearly stated their about uploading unsolicited evidence. "You may upload additional evidence that you believe may assist USCIS in adjudicating your application, even if the evidence was not specifically requested. USCIS will consider the timeliness and relevance of unrequested evidence when making a decision about your case." @Adnaan Patel seek the advice of a lawyer and he/she will still give you the same advice.
