DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

Hi Mom, I was trying to understand form I-485.
a)What could be a A-Number for me . I'm on L2 visa. I looked at my visa carefully and don't see any alien number mentioned.
b) Is it beneficial to create USCIS online account and mention the account no information (Part1, 11)?
c) Question 23 (a), place of last arrival into USA. Is the city of arrival airport or, the state where you started living(if different)?
d) Question 27, What is your current immigration status. Does it mean visa class ?
Thank you!

1. You wouldn’t have an A# if you’ve never applied for an immigration benefit directly from the USCIS.
2. Wait until you’ve filed and received your NOA before creating an online account.
3. The POE (port of entry) - place you were you lawful entered/were admitted into theUS.
4. You can just write L2 non immigrant.

Regarding answer for 4, Q27 it is says : Whats your current immigration status (if it has changed since arrival)

As I am on F1 and arrived on an F1 status there is no change but even then I should mention : F1 non immigrant ?

Write that or write N/A, it makes no difference (since you're still in the same status).

small query: the instructions also say to write N/A and avoid blanks, but some rows do not allow special characters to be entered and only NA can be typed instead of N/A, are they very particular ? If so should I printout and then write N/A ...

They're not particular about how you write it. If you prefer to use N/A, take a look at the FAQs section of the AOS process spreadsheet on how to disable Java script or Google it.

In my case, visa status changed from L2 to L2S, both are exactly the same, but in feb 2022 they introduced 'S' suffix for spousal notification and 'Y' for the kid.
 
Is not filling tax returns a problem when trying to adjust status ?
If for example you fill out for 2021, but forget to fill out for 2022, does that complicate the process ?

First rule of anything to do with immigration is to be up to date on your taxes.
Anyway, you clearly haven’t forgotten if you’re talking about it now, so you can file a late return,
 
Hey,
I'm here in USA under F1 status and I'm living with my uncle who is US citizen. He is unemployed so we are living in an apartment from the housing assistance program and we pay $200 in rent because I'm not a US citizen. 1.I will have an issue while adjusting my status? 2.What's your advice? 3. I have another uncle here who could file the I-130 for me can I use it as evidence.
Thanks

Makes sense, thank you
But I have another question on this regards. I know it is kind of stated on the AOS spreadsheet, but here is my question:

Is it necessary for me to include my tax transcripts in the AOS package even if I will be submitting an I-134 that will be filled out for me by my aunt? Ofc, while sending the I-134, I will send along my aunt’s tax transcripts and W-2s. So, is not sending my own tax transcripts an issue ??
The reason why I am asking this is because for some reason I have some trouble accessing my tax transcripts on the IRS website, so if this problem persist, I may not be able to have them on time.

1. This has already been answered.
2. You have plenty of time now to request the IRS tax transcript by mail if you’re unable to access it online.
 
I was checking the documents required in the AOS package and I found that I need the front and back of the I94 but I have the i94 website shows up just one page

And that one page is all you need. The front and back reference is only applicable to someone issued with a paper I-94.
