A Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) is a written notice from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) detailing that the government intends to deny an applicant’s application, petition, or request. Typically, USCIS does this due to inadequacy of evidence or technical errors. This letter also allows the said applicant to provide a response within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt.
Receiving a NOID can be terrifying. Many would think that it would be the end of their attempt at immigrating to the United States. Depending on the circumstance, that may not be the case. Take note of the following in case you receive a NOID:
1. Review the Content
Before doing anything else, have a thorough read of the NOID contents. If possible, read the notice multiple times. Also, take note of the important details. Find if the USCIS set deadlines or if the agency lists a set of documents to be complied with.
2. Prepare the Necessary Documents
The NOID will contain lists of errors or lacking information. Determine which of the contents are true or not. Prepare legitimate copies of the required documents or pieces of evidence. If you can, draft an appropriate response to the contents of the NOID. Be extremely meticulous. Ensure that all points discussed in the notice are covered.
3. Consult an Immigration Lawyer
Some contents in the NOID can be confusing for non-experts. Avoid committing unnecessary mistakes by partnering with trustworthy immigration lawyers. Firms like ALG Lawyers can provide comprehensive and timely advice on your situation. They also have the resources and connections that can help solve the problem.
While the internet holds countless suggestions on matters relating to NOID, it is dangerous to rely on unverified sources.
