Sorry first of all man, I know exactly what you mean, my info was sent to VERMONT and based on all my experiences & things I had to do, VERMONT is very lackadaisical. They denied me with some really foolish speculations, when in fact they just skimmed through my RFE/App. I had to get a lawyer to sort everything out and in the end I am still waiting but, atleast they admitted they made a mistake and offered to do a full review of my case. I should hear and answer soon. But as for your case and you had a lawyer from the get-go and they still turned you down, that's messed up. I filed on my own and all was alright but needed a lawyer to handle my rejection which was a mistake on USCIS/Vermont side. But ya, VERMONT is doing something wrong, not sure why they are rejecting people who have all their paperwork intact. SORRY MAN, it hurts, I know. I really hope you get some justification out of this because its unfair. I personally think VERMONT is the worst. My verdict backed by all my friends and their friends who all applied to VERMONT. I guess it true. STAY UP BRO, KEEP YOUR HEAD HIGH, GOD IS WATCHING AND HE DON'T LIKE UGLY, GOD BLESS YOU AND I HOPE YOU GET SOMETHING POSITIVE OUT OF THIS.
