Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York
Rejection Notice of I-290B
My husband submitted his I-751 over a year ago. A year extension was granted. About a little less than a month ago, USCIS sent him a letter stating that he never responded to their request for additional evidence. We never received this letter. We were told to send in I-290B. They sent him a rejection notice stating that if he select D,E,F that he had to send in another form (687). What option was he suppose to select? Our explanation is that we never received the original request for additional evidence. Now when I put in the receipt number, the system is unable to find anything on my case. Can I submit a new I-290, with the correct selection? Should I have selected C instead?

Re: Rejection Notice of I-290B
When you told the US Immigration Service that you did not receive the letter, did you request that they send it to you a second time?
Have you been to their office to discuss the lost letter?
Have you spoken to them over the phone about the lost letter?

Re: Rejection Notice of I-290B
Did you have an attorney review the denial letter? Have you already sent in the appeal? Have you moved since filing the I-751? All of these questions are relevant in determining what your next step should be.
Generally you cannot check the case status of I-751 applications using the online system, especially if they have been appealed.
Has your husband received any other notices from immigration? Often times when applications are denied, USCIS will refer applicants to immigration court. You should speak with an attorney so that you can do the best thing to protect your husband's status as a permanent resident.
