✅ EB-3 AOS I-130 Petition Approved After NOID Response - Unexpected System Behavior

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- An I-130 petition for an EB-3 AOS applicant was approved roughly 8 days after a NOID response was submitted on August 12. The approval notice appeared in the USCIS documents tab without a corresponding case status update, raising questions about whether the approval was real or a system glitch. The approval was issued by SCOPS Texas facility despite the NOID originating from Nashville field office. An EB-3 I-130/AOS concurrent filer reports finding an I-130 approval notice in their USCIS online account documents tab dated today, approximately 8 days after submitting their NOID response (answered August 12). Key irregularities noted: (1) No case status update or email/text notification was received; the status still shows 'Notice of Intent to Deny answer was received'; (2) The approval notice was issued by SCOPS Texas Service Center, while the NOID itself came from Nashville Field Office — a cross-facility discrepancy; (3) Mailed supporting documents for the NOID have not yet appeared in the documents tab. The approval notice text uses standard I-130 approval language directing the beneficiary to file Form I-485, which may indicate this is an I-130-only approval pending a separate I-485 adjudication, or that the system notice is a template mismatch for a concurrent filer. The applicant is physically present in the U.S. on AOS basis. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1vt7nsp/did_anybody_got_approved_today_is_it_glicth/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
