My husband lost his passport and we decided to submit his Mexican ID, Birth Cert, and copies of his families passport as they all applied together as a family. We got back 2 pages of info which included a time he went out to California.
We went to our 2nd interview for AOS where the officer drilled and questioned my husband for over a half and hour about how he obtain the FOIA and what info we sent? but didnt want to see our orginal FOIA request or our official FOIA papers.
Finally the officer told my husband that he "assumes" that the FOIA wasnt able to find any info from what we sent and instead just looked up the same name and DOB and assuming it was my husbands papers.
The officer told us that the FOIA papers we got belong to a guy out in California who got a AOS back in 2004 and that he too was orginally from Mexico and moved out to Cali.
At first the officer thought my husband was a lying about how or what we submitted to the FOIA but realized my husband answers didnt match the other guys info, nor was my husband going to commit perjury or problems for himself.
Can you really think the FOIA would just pull out papers for someone with the same name and DOB? and nothing else? and being a Latin name which is so common where they use both their mom and dads last name.
So now, we are back to square one as we dont have proof of entry as that FOIA is voided. My lawyer said he never heard any such cases of this and that he will try to get an extention of time...even though the officer said my husband wouldnt have time to submit any more info as he has to make a decsion soon and that 90% he will be denied.
Update: The officer showed my husband supporting documentation that the "passport number on the FOIA" did belong to another guy as at first we thought he was stealing my husbands info...they have the same name, DOB, born in Mexico and have visited California. Crazy I know. Officer didnt let me go in, now I know why as I would have been questioning everything with a fine comb.

Does your husband agree that the passport number is for a different guy? Or is it just the interviewer who was saying that?
My husband doesnt recall his passport number but did tell the officer that because his whole family got it at the same time that his should be the 3rd lowest number from his father, the officer said he doesnt have time to look that up even though we sent his families passport copies with the FIOA. The officer showed my husband a picture of a guy in California and told my husband that the passport number belongs to that guy. My husband didnt question the officer on the number, but I wanted to see and verifiy but wasnt allowed in.
I guess we are lucky in one way, he could have denied him on the spot and had him deported which for some reason he didnt.

The FOIA made a mistake? and gave us someone elses papers!
