RFE for public charge question and issue

[Irishchelseafc 0]

We filed back in April of 2024 for AOS. The i485 got updated to a new edition in August.  We received an RFE for the public charge question. So we have to correct that. However I encounter a conundrum in that can we just fill the pages in question?... or do we have to fill out an entirely new I485 because it is now a different edition than the original application?....

 

Second question is that we don't remember the exact residential history for past 5 years because my wife moved at least 3 times in her home country. If we have to fill out entire form again will it matter if the residential history matches or not? Because she can't remember exact dates...

 

Unfortunately I scoured my records and can't find a copy of original 485.

1) Always keep copies of everything you ever submit to USCIS

2) If she doesn't remember the dates exactly she needs to reconstruct it based on emails, messages, phone geolocation history, asking family, contacting previous landlors, searching through paperwork.

3) She must remember all of this information. In case there is interview, she may be asked to tell dates and places on the spot.

4) Making information up is not a good idea. USCIS can use this as a weapon to accuse her of misrep (unlikely but possible)

 Yes. I went through old whatsapp conversations and found all her addresses with approximate dated. But can't find exact dates. Got years and approximate months.

Did you look really hard on the computer you used to create the application? Check the download folder, document folder, desktop, etc...

I did. Not there. Checked my Google drive I usually save it to. Checked all my flash drives. It disappeared.  I am pretty sure I saved it somewhere. I dunno. I filed a Freedom of information act request to get my copy of the i485 that was submitted.  But they say exactly to complete is Jan 6th. My response is due by February 3rd.
