FE on Your USCIS Case: What It Means
USCIS ordered a notice of intent to deny. This is not a final denial.
Sources for this meaningWhat it means
The NIEM code list of USCIS benefit document statuses describes FE as INTENT TO DENY NOTICE ORDERED
.
A notice of intent to deny (NOID) gives you notice of an intended denial and a chance to respond. The USCIS Policy Manual sets the maximum response time for a NOID at 30 days and says the notice warns that not responding may lead to a denial. A NOID is not a final decision.
