❌ EB-3 I-485 Denied Risk - NOID Response Filing Error - PD Unknown

❌ **Case Status: Denied** --- An I-485 applicant received a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) based on fraud/misrepresentation allegations. The attorney's mailed NOID response was rejected by USCIS for wrong filing location, and the response period subsequently expired before an online submission could be confirmed accepted. This case involves an I-485 applicant who received a NOID on June 2, 2026 citing fraud and misrepresentation. Legal counsel was retained and a response packet was prepared and mailed. USCIS received the response on June 30 but rejected it and returned it, citing incorrect filing location. The USCIS online portal showed the response window was still open as of July 1 (until 9pm), but the physical packet did not arrive back to the applicant until July 2 at 4:30pm. By the time the applicant attempted to upload the response online on July 2, the portal showed the response period had expired. The applicant nonetheless uploaded the response online on July 2, hoping USCIS would still accept it despite the expired deadline indicator. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1um4h07/my_i485_will_be_denied/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
