A Reddit user recently celebrated the approval of their EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability) I-140 petition on March 2, 2026, after navigating a challenging process that included a Request for Evidence (RFE) and a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). The user initially filed their petition in October 2025, received an RFE in November, and after responding in January 2026, faced a NOID due to a prior DS-160 issue unrelated to the merits of the EB-1A application.
Key Details:
- Approval Date: March 2, 2026
- Initial Filing Date: October 2025
- RFE Issued: November 2025
- NOID Issued: Following RFE response in January 2026
The user, who originally worked with an attorney, ultimately chose to respond to the NOID on their own, utilizing AI tools to help structure their arguments. They encourage others facing similar challenges not to lose hope and to persist through the RFE and NOID process.
