Personally, I would say "yes" and include the copy of letter you received from USCIS for being rejected for filing early, as this would be your new and 2nd 485 application to USCIS. Explain on the box below, that way you are being truthful. This is JMO, what did your lawyer put, do you know? I am sure the seniors will have better advice for you.

hi..Summet
I got last thing to finish my AOS package.
just wnna make sure: is the AOS fee are $1010 and pay to "U.S. Department of homeland security"?
and AOS package mailing adds I can't found it, can you post it
Answers to your questions about fees are on page 8 of I-485 instructions:
$930 for I-485 and $80 for biometrics (total $1010) payable to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" (you are right)
Information on where to file your 485 is on page 5 of I-485 instructions:
i.e., for DV cases:
USCIS Chicago Lockbox Address:
For US postal service (USPS) deliveries:
USCIS
PO Box: 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120
For express mail and courier deliveries:
USCIS
Attn: FBAS
131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517
Please refer to the USCIS site to download the latest instructions on 485.
Thanks new one.
Yes, I read the new instructions and says exactly what you mentioned. It seems there is no way to put all the letters in that space because it runs out of space in the form and we cant edit the form to add in pdf. May be I have to add it by hand then. I could not fit "Copy of lottery letter attached" after "Diversity Visa Lottery Winner".
guys there is a new news, I got my Lawyer officially out of my case as of todays date so, she is sending all my documents to me by this week. now I am going with the model that capeolive gave me.. I will need your help a lot now coz i am trying to get it done by this weekend so that I can submit it by this tuesday. But please answer if I can only file for i485 or do i also have to file travel document and work permit, coz i dont want to apply for those again. and regarding my last question again, what should i write if i have applied for the permanant residency.???
Hi Summet,
of course you can apply only for I-485.
You won't need EAD and travel document.
For the other question.
I am not sure what you have to do.
But if I would you, I would write yes,
and add on separete paper explanation.
But I am not sure at all what you have to put.
So you have time.
I'm sure someone will answer you tonight.
Someone who knows better than me.
Hi Zuno,
Yes. Also please read the instructions of the forms
before filling them out, you'll find most of the answers.
You are welcome to ask questions anytime, but it is
in your best interest to understand the process for yourself.

Hi Norkira,
Thanks for still helping people out.
Your signature colors the forum, literally.
It is also good to see that you are
"appreciative" of "the gift" God gave you.

I'm still around...even though I have been very busy lately. I have been helping people mostly through private messages. Tell you the truth, you are doing a very good job answering everything I would have said, so I just don't want to repeat the answer. besides, you always beat me to it

Hi Summet,
Finally, welcome to America.
In America you can hire a lawyer and you can also fire him/her.
But now you are on your own. You got a list fill out the forms,
assemble the DV AOS package and send it in next Monday
for instance. Do everything one by one. Make sure read the
instructions first. I am sure if you "do your homework"
you can do it much better than your "old" lawyer...

summet,
go to the front of this forum (lottery visas - dv), and click on the attachment icon (paper clip) of the '2010 aos only thread'. there is a sample i485 cover letter. download that and edit it to suit your case.
then go to this link for help in assembling your package
http://www.immihelp.com/greencard/adjustmentofstatus/application.html
regarding your previous submission, i would suggest declaring it and attach a copy of the decline letter as proof.
good luck.

We all are here to help you. Feel free to ask ny questions!!!
Hello Summet,
The G-28 does not apply for this new petition, you have to fill in new forms the same way that we all are doing it. The difference is that now you should send copies of your AP and EAD; what I don't know is if you need to send copies of your previous I-485 and its rejection letter (it is my understanding that you should send them). Anyone can comment on this?
As for the A#, use the new one.
Don't wait for your college transcript but do send your high school diploma, and/or any other higher diploma, as proof of eligibility. You can bring your college transcript to your interview appointment but I doubt they will ask you for it.
I'm upset that you have to go through all of this and that the lawyer still pretends to make more money like if it was not her fault.
I hope that we all can help you and that you soon get your GC.
Best of luck!
Hi nepal2010,
thank you for support!!!
It means a lot to me.
I'll do my best and bring good news next week
newone good luckfor your interview, By the way what are the documents are you planning to take with you for the interview.
Hi Summet,
I agree with i2009, you should send
"a letter explaining that you applied before
and it was rejected due to early filing"
also "a copy of the rejection letter"
You should not give them an impression of
a first time filer...
