Thanks for your response, @Malauriea! The extension receipt date is November 2, but the date the extension was issued was really late - in March 2019. I wonder if the officer looked at the wrong date?

 

I will send back a letter explaining that this must be a misunderstanding and enclose my expired green card, extension letter, a 120-day notice from September 2018 stating that I should submit I-751 within 90 days of January 2019, and a UPS notice showing that USCIS received my package November 2.

 

Do you think I need to consult with or add a lawyer for this? It seems like an obvious misunderstanding on the part of USCIS and should not require a lawyer, but the fact that they consider my case to be filed late stresses me out.

Ok so the date on your extension letter is November 2nd 2018? That's what they call "Received date" different from "Notice date".

The notice date is the date the receipt was issued. 

The received date is the date the application was received. 

Do you have them At different dates?

Correct- on the extension letter there are two dates: the received date is November 2, 2018 and the notice date is March 8, 2019. 
 

Basically I waited about four months before I got the extension letter.

Ok. That's Good. 

For the lawyer part, I think you should save your money for now and do a first attempt yourself by simply explaining your case "to whom it may concern" by highlighting the differentes dates and explaining the mistake on their part.

You definitely don't need a lawyer for that. You just need to demonstrate that a mistake was done and you did everything right. 

If you filed late like they said, they would not have issued you an extension at first place, but a notice of late filing since November 2018.

Yes, that should be more than enough to get this corrected.  Perhaps even trying to call a Tier 2 officer before sending paperwork in?  One small note, send copies of the green card and extension letter, not the originals.

Thanks @Malauriea and @AstroCanada! 
 

I called USCIS contact center today and they confirmed that I filed on time. They also said to explain this in my response to the RFE (as well as send copies of the GC and extension letter).

 

I think that in addition to the evidence of timely filing, I’ll also add copies of newer evidence of our relationship and hope to avoid getting one more RFE...

Yes yes that definitely a really good idea, being proactive with more evidences. Just specify that in your letter so they get on board with you on the same page. 

Definitely no lawyer needed for this inconvenience. Please keep us updated and I wish you the best outcome.

We contacted our local congressman's office and submitted an inquiry. It took 3 weeks to get something back from the USCIS and surprisingly it was the exactly same answer (Your case is within normal processing time) that we got through phone calls and online chats with the USCIS. It looks like local congressman cannot provide any additional help. Very disappointing.

I got an update about my case as well. New Card Is Being Produced!

It's been 472 days! My USCIS office is in San Francisco, so I thought I will end up waiting much longer. Great news for me! And glad to hear that cases are moving for the other folks as well!

Good luck to those still waiting!
