Well I didn't send it in. I just got oculus support to separate my facebook account from my oculus account, which at the time new standalone oculus accounts were not able to be created. So I found the only loop hole to make a new standalone oculus account.

This account was eventually migrated to the meta account system and still works while my facebook account still doesn't work.
