My case was at the Philidelphia backlog center and I just got a Notice
of Case Closure. They contend that I did not reply to their
communication or that my reply was incomplete. I have proof that I
replied in time (by fax) and that the information they requested was
complete.

I have informed them about this and am just waiting for a response.

Anyone been in this same situation? What was the outcome? That Philly
backlog center makes me so mad, they are not only slow, they are also
disorganized!

What sort of proof? You may have proof that you sent the information, but how do you know that it was received by the person or department that it needed to get to?

proof that i faxed it to them. proof that the fax transmission went
through. probably some idiot lost the fax. that's not my fault. i
should sue their asses.

You seem a bit on edge. Why don't you just reapply... it'll be less stressful for you! Oh... next time they ask for more information, mail it to them... delivery confirmation and return receipt. As you've already discovered, a fax is not a reliable means of communication.

because reapplying will take me another 3 years and a whole lot of
money. now you understand? and it was their instructions that faxing
the info to them is accepatable.

anyway, lets see if they acknowledge their mistake.

You have to file a motion to reopen. This will take some time to
adjudicate however b/c the BECs don't have procedures in place as of
yet to address such motions.

Hope this helps.

that's what i'm afraid of =/
it's bad enough that it took them years to get to my case, now because
of their error, it gets pushed back further.
