Hi Ariel, Just wanted to say THANK YOU for an amazing service and assistance with this case. It started a year ago, and now after all those months, I can relax (at least from this aspect). Just to share with you that it was one of the biggest administration challenges I need to complete as part of the company's Reset. Thank you again

EB2 Green Card

Daliah was recommended to my husband and me by an executive at the company we both work for, and she was very helpful as we prepared for my husband's K1 visa to immigrate to the United States. She provided Certified English Translations for my husband's Israeli documents, including court records. She met with us and helped us organize our documentation and navigate the visa process.

FAQ

We’re here for you. Browse our FAQ or get in touch.

Should I get a lawyer for NOID?

While it’s not required, an NOID lawyer can help with an NOID response by carefully analyzing the request and making sure you provide everything you need to get your case approved. This is especially important for complex NOIDs, where working with an NOID attorney can help you understand exactly what to provide.

What is your NOID attorney fee?

NOID attorneys charge different fees based on the complexity of your request for additional evidence. NOID lawyer fees for a response can range from a few hundred dollars for more simple NOIDs to $5,000+ for complex NOID response

What are the chances of approval after NOID?

This depends on how well you are able to respond to your request for additional evidence. If it’s something simple like a translation, and that's the only thing requested, it’s likely they will approve your case when they get the documents. However, the outcome after a more complex NOID that challenges basic qualifications for the visa can be harder to predict. Working with an NOID lawyer can be helpful to maximize your chances of success.

Do lawyers charge extra for NOID?

Most NOID lawyers will charge extra for responding to an NOID, especially if it is a complex response that requires a lot of work. NOID attorneys will look at your request to evaluate what will be needed. The NOID attorney fee may then be determined by the what is needed for the response

What percentage of NOID is approved?

In order to avoid an NOID, it is important to to carefully read the instructions and guidance to make sure you have included everything you need for your filing. This includes properly completed forms, all of the required supporting evidence, and anything else to add such as translations or expert evaluations. You should also make sure you clearly qualify for the visa you are applying for. Weaker cases with less documentation are more likely to get an NOID. You can also speak with a qualified NOID attorney experienced with Requests for Evidence to reduce your chances of an NOID after filing.

How can a lawyer help respond to NOID?

An NOID is usually issued when USCIS is not sure if the petition should be approved or denied and needs more evidence to make a decision. On the other hand, a NOID indicates that the officer thinks the petition should be denied unless additional evidence is provided.
