Status changed to: Notice Explaining USCIS Actions Was Mailed
What does it mean???! Is it a NOID? Is it a decision (Approved or Denied)?? Just got this status changed today the 15th day after applying for premium processing. I applied for PP after waiting 80+ days after responding to RFE.
Case History:
September 8, 2022 Notice Explaining USCIS Actions Was Mailed
August 25, 2022 We received your Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, and sent you a receipt notice.
August 24, 2022 We received your request for premium-processing of your Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, and mailed you a receipt notice.
June 3, 2022 We received your response for Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker.
March 24, 2022 We sent a request for additional evidence for your Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker.
May 21, 2020 We received your Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker.
The Status Changed in the case tracker and I got an email right after:
-----------------------
On September 8, 2022, we began reviewing your Form I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER, Receipt Number XXXXXXXX. We mailed you a notice informing you of the action we intend to take on your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice and submit any requested materials. If you do not receive your notice by September 22, 2022, contact the USCIS Contact Center at www.uscis.gov/contactcenter. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.
Log-in to your myUSCIS account to view your case history and understand what you can expect to happen next on your case.
Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at under Check Processing Times.
---------------------------
Anyone who received the same status (Notice Explaining USCIS Actions Was Mailed) can clarify what is about?? I'm so confused right now...

that’s a NOID NOTICE
marieee ttttSep 9, 2022
do you have an online account? check your documents tab
Marcelo FernandezSep 9, 2022
I have an online account and there is no documents tab for me. Just the case history. Are all NOIDs communicated like this? I was expecting something more specific
March 2021Sep 9, 2022
it's NOID
marieee ttttSep 9, 2022
that’s a NOID for sure

what was your rfe about?
Marcelo FernandezSep 9, 2022
Requested evidence to establish the proposed endeavor has substantial merit and lack of clear articulation on the proposed endeavor. Response was 160 pages plus support docs…
waiting guy guySep 9, 2022
just wait for the actual letter. it is NOID but the fact they did not deny you yet means there is chance to be approved.
Fabio PCSep 10, 2022
@Marcelo Fernandez First of all I wish you luck!! Do you mind to share your field, degree, which service center, and officer number? Thanks
Marcelo FernandezSep 10, 2022
My field is Computer Science applied to Petroleum Engineering. I own a M.S and M.B.A.
I applied through TSC. Before PP the agente was XM1859, I’m not sure what agent now after the PP
waiting guy guySep 10, 2022
you received the letter already? is that the endeavor thing with 160 pages?
Marcelo FernandezSep 10, 2022
I did not receive the NOID letter yet. The 160 page document I mentioned above was my response to the previous RFE where I clarified the proposed endeavor and the prongs they questioned.
waiting guy guySep 10, 2022
i see. 160 was a wow. same here i have not received it yet. this waiting for the letter is killing me. prayers to both of us.
Marcelo FernandezSep 11, 2022
If you are waiting for the letter for over 7 days you can call USCIS and request an electronic copy via email, I'll do that if I don't have the letter in my mailbox before Friday
waiting guy guySep 11, 2022
marcelo. my atty said that my noid is just Supplement J
Marcelo FernandezSep 11, 2022
what does it mean? I’m supposing you are not Eb-2 NIW, right? They are now requiring you to confirm the job offer you have?
waiting guy guySep 11, 2022
my lawyer forgot to file that. her mistake at my expense.
waiting guy guySep 11, 2022
im eb3
Marcelo FernandezSep 11, 2022
sorry to hear that… the least we expect is to deal with our own lawyer mistakes… USCIS by itself is already a lot to deal with. I keep waiting for my letter to arrive.
chavo pelaSep 15, 2022
Hi, did you receive the letter? Good luck!
Marcelo FernandezSep 15, 2022

Marcelo FernandezSep 21, 2022
As my case is EB-2 NIW, they asked for more information about the national importance of the proposed endeavor, how I’m positioned to advance with it, and some financials. it’s well detailed and I’m currently working to respond it. I will post when it’s submitted. As long as chances are above zero, we will be fighting. :)
ash ashSep 21, 2022

Marcelo FernandezDec 15, 2022
I got my approval today!!! Thank you guys for the support. It took some time because my lawyer had to use all the available time to prepare the response. After the response was submitted it took 5 days for the approval with premium processing.

I am submitting my RFE response this week after 120 days of getting it (RFE came in in August, 2022) and after filing PP few weeks before. 260+ pages response. I am hoping for the best too.

@Marcelo Fernandez did your officer ever change when you switched to premium ?
Marcelo FernandezApr 5, 2023
yes, when you switch to premium your status will change to “Request for premium processing services was requested”, followed by another status change to “Case was received and a receipt notice was sent” as other officers will review your case now
Marcelo FernandezApr 5, 2023

@Marcelo Fernandez
waiting guy guyApr 25, 2023
@Marcelo Fernandez my i485 has been approved December. i thought your i485 has been approved already too. in my experience it is usualky 6 months or less from approval of i140 where the result or rfe for i485 comes out.
Marcelo FernandezApr 30, 2023
Just got RFE for Medicals on my I-485… 137 days after I-140 being approved… OMG this is soooo sloooooooow…
Marcelo FernandezMay 7, 2023

Marcelo FernandezMay 16, 2023
I’m happy to be closing this post! My I-485 was approved today . FINALLY! This was quite a ride, it tested me and my family sanity levels like nothing else. Be strong, for every problem, there is a solution. Keep going strong.
