Resend the application to Buffalo with PROOF that you were admitted to the US for at least a year.

PMM is right - your application is eligible to be processed through Buffalo if you were initially admitted to the United States with temporary status valid for at least one year. That does not mean proof that you have been in the US for a year - it means you have to have been legally admitted with status valid for at least one year on your last entry, and you have to provide proof of that by submitting a copy of your status document. That's what they mean by "current and expired status document showing your entry date and the validity of your status" on entry. If you were not initially admitted for a period of at least one year, you are not eligible to have your application processed through Buffalo and they will transfer your application to the embassy that represents your country of citizenship. So send your application forms, along with your proof of status, back to Buffalo. If you can demonstrate that you have valid status in the States that was granted for an initial period of at least one year, you're okay. Otherwise, they'll transfer your application to your home country's embassy and assessment will continue there until finalization. And, no, you don't have to redo all the application forms.
