What are your guesses as to why it is so difficult to find any copies of interview letter or denial letters that were sent out at all??

Copy of denial letter I've seen with my own eyes earlier today from your screenshot.

If you didn't ask for a copy of interview letter in FOIA request, USCIS wouldn't give in their response. Simple.

That looks like an official denial letter that is typically sent out??? What is that date stamp for? Can you provide examples of sent out denial letters to show that this is how they usually look (with a date only stamp)

 

And why was this hidden from both petitioner and every uscis officer that has looked at this case??

Here's one from a Visa Journey thread in 2014:

 

i485 denial notice after verbal approval during interview (merged) - Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas - VisaJourney

I think the denial letter was created by USCIS in 2021.  However, proving the letter was actually mailed from USCIS and/or received by you is the impossible part.

Here is another one in this article:

 

Deferred Action (and Mercy) is Dead—Another Effective Program Killed by the Administration | Kuck Baxter (immigration.net)

It appears that the only change of address for the case occurred on January 10, 2022.

 

What date did you move, and what date did you submit the AR-11 change of address form?

 

Double-check what exactly your FOIA request encompassed.  If it did not explicitly ask for interview notices, or all communications and records pertaining to your case, I would recommend that you submit another FOIA request specifically requesting all records.

 

If you can prove that you correctly submitted the AR-11 before November 3rd, 2020, when they scheduled the interview, and FOIA turns up an interview notice addressed to your old address, then you have the smoking gun that USCIS is at fault.  If it turns up an interview notice with your new address, then you're probably dead in the water, as USCIS can then shift the blame to you.  If it turns up no interview notice at all, then that will be in your favor.

 

I notice that the online notification states that on March 8th, 2021, USCIS cancelled the interview that was scheduled on November 3rd, 2020.  I'm curious if that cancellation letter will turn up in the FOIA request, and what address it will have on it.  I am assuming that you never received that letter either.

The way it looks to me:

1. OP's wife filed I-751 jointly at old address

2. OP and wife moved to new address. Whether they correctly filed AR-11 or not hard to tell without proof.

3. USCIS sends an interview letter to old address on file (my assumption), which OP and his wife did not receive, since they lived at different address

4. USCIS sends denial letter to old address on file. Again, OP and his wife didn't receive it

5. Meanwhile OP's wife gets I-551 stamps at local field office

6. OP's wife specified new address in N-400 application

Did you ask for it? And if you did, was it done properly? That's the reason sometimes people hire lawyers instead of trying to do it themselves.

Thank you, in FOIA request, did you specify your wife's

- Alien number

- I-751 case number

- Timeframe for your request (e.g. from date mm/dd/yyyy to date mm/dd/yyyy)

 

If not, don't be surprised some info maybe missing in response. USCIS is a huge agency with many offices scattered around the entire US.

Yeah and multiple tier uscis officers and multiple service requests state that it's in the que for reschedule and it's not denied.  Multiple people making the same mistake is more unlikely.
