Hello,

I just talked to TSC IO and they said that they have sent an Intent to Deny my 485 to my attorney's office. My attorney hasn't received it yet. Can you please let me know what does this mean? Has this happened to anyone?
 
It doesnt look like you missed any FP appointments..did you invoke AC21 or change jobs and not invoke AC21?
 
Same employer

I have been working with the same employer since I applied my I140 and I485. Never changed employer. Never invoked AC21. I have no idea what this could be. What are the usual reasons for Intent to Deny 485, please throw in some light for me. I am getting into a very confused state.

My lawyer says that they usually receive the notices in 14 days. I may have to wait for another 10 days to know really what exactly the notice is about, and this can be a very tough period. Please help me with any information on Intent to Deny that you may have.

I'm guessing that your second FP wasn't with biometrics. If so, they probably scheduled a biometrics collection for you, and you never received the notice. Typically, if they don't get the FP results in 120 days, they must issue a NOID. Did you ask the IO what the reason for NOID was?

Good luck with your case, looking485, and keep us updated.

I realize it's a very challenging situation, but try to keep your calm. The NOID is still a letter of intent, they haven't denied it yet. In a case like this, you should try calling up TSC again and try to get the reason for the NOID. At least you will be able to work proactively on resolving the issue.
 
thank you

Marooned42 - thank you. For the second finger printing, I took an appointment from infopass, and completed them. I never received any notice from TSC regarding my second finger prints.

If they sent the finger prints and I did not receive them, what would be the next step for me. How can I justify or prove this? I have not changed my address since I filed my 485. Please help !!

I'm talking about biometrics (photo+sign) rather than 10-print FPs. Did you ever provide biometrics to USCIS? Based on various approvals posted in this forum, I've observed that some AOs tend to send out approvals along with a biometrics collection notice, while some AOs wait for biometrics to return before they approve. Yours could be a latter case.

The next step for you is obviously to try to find out the reason for the NOID and start working on it before you even get the notice. If TSC can't tell you the reason over the phone, you'll have to wait for the actual notice itself.

<rant>As for FP notices, I believe TSC screwed up big time sometime in April when they *supposedly* sent out many FP notices, and many of the recipients never received it. I wonder if some lawyer will be willing enough to file a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all the subsequently injured parties.

When it is the applicant's "fault", the standard response from USCIS is: denied! Of course, when it is USCIS' fault, it's not really their fault, because it is still the applicant who suffers since the end result is the same: denied!

I so wish these people are held accountable for all the screwups they do every so often, then try to pass it off on us uninformed, kept-in-the-dark applicants who desperately want to believe in a reasonably fair and functioning system.</rant>

I am also waiting for my NIOD (sent on 07/19). I think it should not take more than 1 week to reeceive a notice. I am going to wait for one more day, If i don't receive notice i am going to call back to TSC to findout what is there in NIOD.

Please let me know as you as receive your notice. I want to get an idea about how long it may take for me to get the notice. Also, please tell me what USCIS is asking you to do when you see the notice.

Thank you no_time_for_gc
