i-130 NOID
My wife and I have been married for a year. We submitted our documentation and pictures with our lawyer and surprisingly, we received a NOID letter asking for more evidence. No interview (which our lawyer asked to not submit too much because we will bring it to the interview)!! I submitted the below items 5 days after receiving the NOID and mailed it this morning and will appreciate any feedback from all of you that went through similar challenge: -I submitted 7 notarized letters from family and friends (her parents included) and coworkers. -our join taxes filing/tax transcript. -an album full of pictures with a description of each photo (location/people/time). -join bank account (checking and savings) it shows our names both listed on the account with transactions like electricity/internet/groceries etc. -water statements/invoice showing both of our names. -photos of both of our ID shows that we live in the same location -insurance policy shows both of our casr+our house insurance with our names listed. -screenshots of old texts and social media pictures together celebrating events. -marriage certificate Do I still have a chance to overcome this beast? It has effected me so much, I know I can't control the situation and it is very stressful, specially for our plans this year together. Can't sleep at all. Our lawyer failed me and didn't guide me appropriately. Any help or thoughts while going through this will be extremely helpful.

thanks Eliza! I hope so too! my wife is stressing out too because intent to denay sounds very serious and our marriage is very real! we have nothing to hide. we in fact have 220 people coming to our wedding this august we got legally married 11 months ago but the wedding (party) is this august. we attached the wedding cost and save the date and wedding website as evidence as well!

you’re going to be fine! it means you didn’t provide enough evidence up front. you have a legitimate marriage you will be fine! wish you a speedy approval!

if you have a legit marriage then you have nothing to worry about. give them what they asked for and don’t listen to your lawyer. always provide more evidence than asked.

I received an update today "your request for evidence has been received" any idea how long would it take to make a decision for NOID?
maria martinezApr 21, 2024
Hi @Kobe Az I’m in the same situation, just got a NOID last Friday 04/19. I def understand your frustration, but really hope we can overcome this situation. will appreciate if you keep us posted with any updates in your case. wishing you all the best 🙏🏽
Kobe AzApr 21, 2024
will do! they responded in 04/10 that my response has been received but no updates since then. what was the reason for your NOID?
maria martinezApr 21, 2024
@Kobe Az they said submitted evidence wasnt enough to prove a bonafide marriage. we sent jointly taxes, pictures (wedding, travels, events) car insurance, phone bill, bank statements. that’s what we had at the time it was submitted. now we’re putting everything together to answer to the request. it’s just confusing bcus at this point you don’t know what’s right for them. 🥲 I’ve heard that they answer quickly after it’s received. hopefully you get an answer soon !!!

I think they try to give people a chance to submit all evidence they have so they can save time by avoiding an interview. I was waiting for an interview but most people have been receiving descions online without interviewing.
maria martinezApr 22, 2024
yes I think so too. plus it’s been more than a year after we sent it so I’m assuming they want to see updated docs and pictures. we’re gonna be ok 🙏🏽👏🏽 keep me in the loop!!!
maria martinezApr 28, 2024
hi ! any updates in your case?
Kobe AzApr 28, 2024
hi Maria, no:(! it's been silence since they provided an update that they received my evidence which was April 10th! I am so stressed which is stupid because my marriage is 100% real. is that normal waiting time? I calles to check on my case. they said 60 days after receiving my response is the deadline for them to respond. so biacally they have until June 10th!
maria martinezApr 30, 2024
i think it’s a normal and they usually give a 3 months lead time. stay positive!!!
Kobe AzApr 30, 2024
thank you Maria! last Friday (April 26th) they added another message that evidence is received on 26th:/ haha! I have two different dates now...
maria martinezMay 11, 2024

Kobe AzMay 15, 2024

maria martinezMay 15, 2024

Kobe AzMay 15, 2024
each office is different, I am in TX, which office did you mail it to? it is very exhausting to wait:(! what evidence did you submit? was yours a NOID or just an RFE?
maria martinezMay 16, 2024
mine is in mount laurel nj.tons of pictures, tax transcripts 21-22-23, bank statements, affidavits from friends, lease from the house, phone bill, car insurance. the same things as you more or less.
