This is a good example why one needs to treat important documents with a certain level of respect. When you have a three-month window to file, it makes no sense to send it on the day before it's due. No offense, but being prepared is a huge part of the entire USCIS process, and is generally a major life skill as well.
But like others have said, you have a lot of recourse here. Good luck.

Something like THIS JULY 2011 ROC FILERS Mr. and Mrs???
I was bored so I created the spreadsheet Mr. and Mrs was requesting. You can add your own info if you'd like. I put in an estimated approval date based on stats from the August approved people. You'll see a big difference in dates for CSC filers and VSC filers - sorry VSC'ers I just used the current data and it's taking 134 days compared to CSC filers which is taking only 64 days.
