Hey. Any update with your mum i485 yet. I called uscis about but they are rude and not helpful. Told me to go get professional help if i cant do it. Anyways. I have an obseveration, go back to your i 485 form and on part2 number 11(INA section 245i) I choose NO but when i read the NOTE under it said if you answer YES then you must have selected a family based, special immgirant or Diveesity visa immigrate catergoey and if you go back to part2 we choose a option under family based and that make part 2 number 11 to be YES not NO. And i think we need to fill the form i485 supplementA together with i485. Pls carefully read my observeration and get back to me. Thanks

USCIS staff cannot provide legal advice. All they can do is direct you to what forms to file, how to get them, how & where to file them, etc. They cannot provide any advice on how to answer a question on the forms. Sorry if they were rude - that's not needed - but the reality is they are not there to be helpful with actually completing the forms.

 

INA 245(i) very, very, very likely does not apply to your case and does not appear to apply to the OP's case. It's something you would know if it applied to you.

This is a very specific section of the INA for people in the US as of ~20+ years ago and  with a petition filed around the same time.
