I know but they have 30 days to respond and dv time ends in nearly 40 days. Will there be any consequences of doing congressional inquiry? Or is there Any other way to follow up about the case?

The agents have no way of knowing if a requested document has been reviewed or not, a Tier 2 agent wouldn't know either. The IOs often do not immediately jump on documents received due to issued RFEs due to the workload they're dealing with. I personally think you just need to remain patient (in view of the fact that your FO has been waiving interview for DV based AOS applications). You however can write the FO if you like (no guarantee the mail will make it's way to your assigned IO). You can also initiate a congressional case assistance if you want to feel like you're doing something as against just waiting at this point.

When did you initiate your congressional case assistance? A Tier 2 call back could be in 30 days.

Outside of them being reluctant to initiate the requested case follow up assistance? I don't think there's any other consequence.

I just observed the screenshot of the denial notice which you shared in your post say "You have not established that you are eligible for adjustment under INA 245. Therefore, USCIS must deny your Form I-485" - This I believe is THE main reason for your case denial and NOT necessarily due to early filing.
What did you select for Part 2 Question 2 "Are you applying for adjustment based on the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 245(i)" on your I-485? If you selected "YES", that is the main reason for your case denial. Filing a Motion to Reconsider will not overturn this decision. You should have selected "NO" - it's a pity your IO did not reach out to give you an opportunity to correct this minor error, like some other IOs did for AOSers who also unknowingly selected the wrong response on the application.
Last Thursday (8/17) I received email from congressman office saying they submitted request for my case status and they will call right back to me as they talk to an agent.
You should type or tell "Infopass" on Emma or when you call USCIS phone number. Then a real agent should directly join. Otherwise ask to speak with real agent. Then tell your problem and ask to talk to a Tier 2 agent. They will add you to the list.

Your interview letter however specifically says to bring along an I-864 though, so the question is are you planning on taking an I-864 along to your interview?
Are the required documents in my interview notice specifically made for my case, or do they include them for every interview notice they send?

I’ve not seen your IL, so I have no idea.
I don’t know if you can accept private messages but there is a section at the bottom that says “you must bring the following with you:
ID, medical exam (unless submitted),
i-864 with supporting documents: w-2, tax returns, and evidence of us citizenship/ PR (unless submitted);
all documentation establishing your eligibility for lawful permanent resident status;
Any immigration related document issued to you;
All travel documents;
Petitioner birth certificate and evidence of citizenship;
Original and copy of documents;
Certified translation;
Some marriage stuff;”

Seems like they sent you a generic IL.
Nonetheless, it wouldn’t be unusual for the IO to insist on you submitting financial documents to demonstrate you’re unlikely to become a public charge. @megha_ is a recent example - she was asked to submit an I-134 at the end of her interview even though the IL never mentioned it. She was given a couple of hours to submit the requested documents. Being fully prepared for any such eventuality is always recommended.
Understood. Thank you! I have one question about it though. So let’s say the sponsor has a salary of 60k a year, but hes already sponsoring 5 people. Will he need to be making more money if I want to be sponsored as well? Can you guide me to an article that explains how much the sponsor should exactly be making when he has other dependents?
Hi Mom, My case is updated today to “new card is being produced”.Thank you for all your help, without you, it would not be possible
I really appreciate it. This became my birthday gift. Yesterday I sent an email to the congressman Maybe I should be more patient. Totally it took 2 months and 23 days since I filed I-485.
I will update my timeline soon.

Strangely, my entry was deleted from the spreadsheet by someone.
I also noticed that your entry was deleted by someone. Do you have any updates? I am desperately waiting for an update, but no luck!
