INTENT TO DENY LETTER

[AlexBa 5]

My heart sank to my toes when the USCIS officer told me that an "Intent to Deny" letter was in the mail to us. I just cried and cried and called my husband. It has been so hard for us to be apart this long and now with this letter looming is really, really hard. Both my husband and I looked over the I-130 that I had submitted and found nothing missing. So now we wait to see what they have to say. I've not relocated to Nigeria because it was not our intent when we started this whole immigration journey. It was for my husband to be here with me in the States. That way if my elderly mom and stepdad needed us we move to where they are we could do it with no problems. Not so easy to help mom if we are in Nigeria. Sorry all, just very frustrated with this whole process. My hubby is ready to give up all to move here to the US so I guess it is my turn to show that I am willing to forego all to be with him. We had pretty much worked out what we were going to do for the short term. Now there is much so more to consider as it may require a longer period of time for me in Nigeria. The down side is that we will probably have to give up our apartment here, sell the car, and my job will not be here when I return. But I guess you do what you have to do to be with the one you love. Eventually we will be here together in the States. If not I will stay in Nigeria with him.

What do they mean by INTENT TO DENY? did someone sent it against both of you? or they are denying your petition? please make this clear.

Do not worry yet! They seem to be sending out a lot of Notice of Intent to Deny lately. Some of the recent filers got them for not providing beneficiary's birth certificate (which is not even a required document for the I-130).

Wait and see what it says and comply with it.

I say don't fret yet, as this 'thing' fits a recent pattern,

where

a local office is trying to adjudicate your casefile

and

they not issue RFEs

but instead

a local office issues a NOID

and

you have 30 days (so far, from the other postings about this)

to submit what they will ask for.

so. wait for the postal letter.

Then read the postal letter .

and if you get a moment, do scan it in, redact personal stuff, and post it here in this topic?

otoh, you are not at a local office, right? the above was from local office stuff, where the casefile went from MSC to a local office, noa-1 date after 8-15-2012 (ie - not yours...)

ps - is your timeline accurate on dates?

We also got a Notice of Intent to Deny from a field office. All that was "missing" was my (beneficiary) Birth Certificate. We had 30 days to send it in. Rather than make a fuss because it's not supposed to be required at this point we just got it sent.

Yours could also be something this simple.

Good Luck!

Thanks Darnell I will scan once it comes in the mail. I will be bald by the time this journey is over from pulling my hair out in frustration!

Why are they asking for the Birth certificates now? #######...I just filed and I didn't send this yet. My husband doesn't even have it yet. He is looking into how to get one. My lawyer said we had time to get it. That we didn't need it till we got approved at the USCIS.

From what I have been reading - now that local Field Offices are processing applications, there has been a few occassions of them issuing RFEs or Intend to deny's for stuff like birth certs. Looks like they are using old or wrong guidelined. Just teething issues I guess but even more frustrating.

Maybe we could make a thread of field offices asking for this so that people would know to send one in with their application if that will be their field office?

I think it's different for AlexBa, though, based on that timeline. She's not at MSC, at all.

They Generally ask for Birth Certificates to confirm the True Identity of the Beneficiary.
