Here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M-yzv-P3-OLRkCgRERL2T4_CynWVv4TW/edit I figured I'd post it here in case others need help with how to write their letter etc. Just make sure to comb thru it and edit any of the specifics for your situation.

Not at all! I'll send it over to you. Yes, it was very fast, I was surprised and very happy. I have my green card, social and everything is good now. I'm sorry this happened to you too - and best of luck to you in a speedy turn around!

Recently I received a denial of my I-485 due to USCIS stating they never received my medical packet. USCIS sent me an RFE for my form I-693 in March, and I sent the medical packet within 2 weeks - well before the June due date. I sent it certified and tracked it, and saw that they had received it (they signed for it). On Aug. 4, their website updated to showing they received the evidence that I sent. I thought, great! Things are/were moving forward. Then a week later, a denial notice was issued stating they never received a thing. Scared, we went to a lawyer the following Monday, and he said he just had a client that this happened to. He said just to submit the 290 B, with the fee and the evidence as their letter states, and everything should be fine. Well, I hope. USCIS also said on the phone, that he had to quit his job immediately. The exact wording about the Employment Auth is below: "NOTE on Employment Authorization Document: Any employment authorization based upon this Form I-485 is automatically terminated if the expiration date on the employment authorization document has been reached. See 8 CFR 274a.14(a)(1)(i). Since this Form I-485 is denied, the condition upon which your employment authorization was based no longer exists. Any unexpired employment authorization based upon this Form I-485 is revoked as of 18 days from the date of this notice, unless you submit, within 18 days, proof that your Form I-485 remains pending. See 8 CFR 274a.14(b)(2). The decision by the district director shall be final and no appeal shall lie from the decision to revoke the authorization. Your employment authorization document should be returned to the local USCIS office." My questions are: 1. "Proof the form I-485 remains pending" - I'm assuming this means that we will have to just send in the employment card since I've been it could take two months for them to make a decision on re-opening/re-considering. Should I cc what I file (290B and evidence) when I send back the employment authorization card? 2. A guard at the USCIS field office told me to CC the local San Francisco office on what I file with the San Bernadino office because "they could help". Is it advised to CC other offices when filing things like this? Anyhow, we are beyond devastated by this mishap. I'm hoping for a favorable turnaround on this. I know USCIS has been overwhelmed, but dang... any advice or good thoughts are appreciated.
