I agree with the beware of people using your information, but I think this is different as she has been living with this person who has been providing her financial care for more than 1 year.  

But, a friend can not claim you even if he has been helping you for 12 months .

And secondly, the dependent did not have any social number in the tax year 2021.

So, legally it's a NO. Many people taxes has been held by IRS because of that. Some of them has been  coming to our tax office with friends claiming them as dependents. we where audited by IRS for that and almost loosing our license. So If the person Is not related to you and has her own social, he or she has to file for their own.

There is bracket in your tax return form to fill if a person has been helping you financially for more than 6 months during the tax year. And that will boost your taxes for more returns. You can even mention the name and the amount that person has been helping you with during that tax year. 

Finally, how can you claim somebody as dependent without he or she having any social number in that tax year?

That's exactly the same update I had on January 06 2022 concerning a service request I submitted ending December 2021 to Vermont. 

They stated in their response that we can not give any answer due to.....please write to Vermont. 

They will never answer any electronic or phone's queries.

Consider sending inquiry to Vermont through your senator. Less likely to get "lost" or ignored by USCIS. 

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021.

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.

Not on the envelop, but instead inside. 

You will include along with your query a copy of your receipt notice. 

Don't forget to add a copy of your ID. 

Be aware that Vermont doesn't always answer queries. That's why most people's always contact Vermont service center only through the medium of their congressperson. 

They don't ignore congressional queries.
