I-485 [AoS] rejection notice; how to proceed?

[LTrucker 22]

Hello,

I recently submitted AoS packages for my parents, separate filings for Mom and Dad. Today, I received an I-797C NoA for Parent B that says the I-485 and any supporting documents were returned to me because one or more of the following field(s) were not completed: Address.

The weird thing is, I already have case numbers and did not get a rejection notice for Parent A. The forms filled are identical in terms of shared information such as addresses, etc. for my parents since they've lived in the same places at the same time so I am a little lost and confused as to what my next step should be to get Parent B's case filed.

After scouring the forum a little bit more, I checked all the editions of the forms and what their expiry dates are, and they're all current and what is found on the USCIS website. For I-485, the form edition is 12/23/22 and expires on 10/31/2025.

USCIS did not cash the cheques and returned all the copies of the documents I had provided. There is an email address listed for the lockbox in the rejection notice that was sent. I'm wondering if I should send an email asking for more information on what needs to be rectified for the not completed "address" issue or print out a new I-485, sign it, and resend everything. USCIS has printed on the bottom of the forms and the supporting documents. Do I just send the same supporting documents or should I print fresh copies so it doesn't have the markings?

One thing I am thinking of changing is on Part 3, Address history, 5a onwards. includes my parents home address outside the US where they've for 40+ years but I am thinking if I should change this to my address in the US where they're currently living and move their home address to 6a. onwards. But then again, Parent A's application is filed and processing with their home address outside the US listed in part 5a so I don't know if this would help or fix anything.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Different people processed the intake.

 

One didn't catch the address error (or caught it but decided to accept it for an adjudicator to decide down the road), one caught it and rejected it.

Thank you for your insight! We have reapplied. Fingers crossed.
