Just a ball park idea based on the posts we have been seeing around here. Although I have no idea what went wrong with my first filing and I had a 2021 form. I refiled today with the 2020 one.

no kidding, i think this AOS application is probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

It really is annoying. I was all ready to resubmit this morning when I read the post. We then checked the barcodes on the 2020 and 2021 versions and they are different. So to be safe I re-downloaded the i-485 again and redid all of that.
 
If someone's application gets rejected based on that its just unacceptable. The USCIS holds so many people's lives and futures in their hands... and to have that feeling of being played around is just... yeah.

Hi ShayrineC
 
We are in the same situation than you and replied "N/A" for 24 and No" for 25.
 
Those questions are unclear, they have a lot of those two part question like "have you ever applied for the following public benefits and your application is pending or denied" ..
 
But maybe it wouldn't here to put a comment on the last page saying that you have never applied or received any public benefit at the end.
 
Good luck to you.
 

Hi guys, I filed on 4/14/20, and just got a rejection notice in the mail today. The evidence was kinda trashed and they even messed up the cheque. Everything was returned except for the i-944/supporting evidence, plus my AP and EAD forms.
 
The rejection notice said that "Form I-944 and Form i-864/i-864EZ are required". No other rejection reason was provided, and it is starting to make me think that USCIS had lost my I-944 and documentation. Has anyone had such an issue before? If we call them up, will they even entertain our request to do a search?
 
Since i didnt get back my AP and EAD forms, should i assume they are lost and resubmit those again?
 
One more thing. My I-94 expires after the end of today... will that be a problem when i refile?
 
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

I answered no to 16 and no to 17
 

That is so frustrating.  Sounds like you got the same rejection letter that I got both times, but when my stuff was returned, it was all there and intact each time - just reorganized.  SO strange that that stuff isn't there.  I have found that when I call they do try to help me, but they can't really give any specific information.  I think it's worth trying to call.  
 
Do not worry about the I-94 expiring.  That happened to us too and we freaked out momentarily before people here and from USCIS reassured us that it does not matter.  As long as you got married within the 90 days you are fine, and don't ned to resubmit any differently.  The only difference once the I-94 expires is that you might have more of a hassle if you did ever get stopped and asked about status.  
 
Deep breaths, just regroup and restart.

When you apply for Adjustment of Status, send a copy of your medical. See #10 of the guide below.

Under the i-944 instructions they did say you can provide your foreign tax returns if you don't have any US ones. This is under page 4 of the instructions:

 
For me under that question about filing taxes I had checked 'No", then I explained that I was a foreign resident until recently. I then supplemented with my 2017-2019 foreign tax returns.

A tip is a guideline but not an absolute.  Sending in double sided copies merely increases the chance of an oversight.
 
Since you only send passport style photos of the applicant,  it's pretty obvious who the photo is of.

Except for the forms I sent everything else double sided. I got the texts yesterday and had mailed the packet on 16th and was received on 17. Hopefully you get your texts soon.

Good luck to us all! Hopefully we will mostly get through unscathed in this crazy situation.
