Lost I-20

When my brother applied for green card he remembers sending I-20s for himself and his wife. However, he has received a letter stating that the center has not received her I-20s.

He tried to locate the I-20s, however he cannot locate I-20s for two years. He has contacted the two universities hoping they will have a copy however, as it has been nearly 10 years since he attended these two universities they stated that they do not have copies of I-20 form.

What should he do?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It is difficult to tell if it is really of any significance.

What is the basis of the I-485? Does he need to prove that he has been in a lawful nonimmigrant status?
 
Did she leave the US and reenter legally since completing her studies?

Is that letter about the I-20 in response to an I-485 application?
 
My sister-in-law was not a student but a spouse of a student - my brother. Since then my brother graduated from one program worked legally for nearly 8 months, entered and graduated from another graduate school and has been working full time for the last 4.5 years. They traveled to our home country and reentered many times without any problem.

The letter about the I-20 is in response to an I-485 application. My brother has received his greencard but his wife needs to submit I-20 forms, which are lost.

So you're saying that after her husband graduated, she changed status and left and reentered the US legally before filing the I-485? And the I-20 was for her husband's studies, not her own?

It looks like a big mistake. Maybe they're not aware that she exited and reentered the US. By now that I-20 is irrelevant. Generally they're not supposed to be concerned about her status before the last time she entered the US prior to filing the I-485. Hopefully this can be cleared up with a letter explaining that her latest entry before filing the I-485 was on xx/xx/xxxx (with a copy of the I-94) and that she has been maintaining lawful nonimmigrant status since then. Perhaps get a lawyer to assist with writing the letter so the relevant statutes can be quoted and it will have the "weight" of the lawyer's letterhead.
 
She always stayed legally in the U.S. The only problem is that she lost her I-20 that shows her legal status and she cannot get a copy of it from the schools that supplied it on her behalf
