I485 approved before I140 !!
Hi all,
Have you encountered such a case where my I485 is approved before my I140.
There is no news about my wifes I485 neither.
I got the following email this morning
----------------------------------------------------
Receipt Number: WAC0606353***
Application Type: I485 , Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
Current Status:
On October 11, 2006, we mailed a notice reaffirming the approval of this case, and returned the case to the Department of State for visa processing. If you have any additional questions, please contact the Department of State.
------------------------------------------------------
Is this the standard format for I485 approval?
Thank you for your advise

Hi HAH, my situation is like you 2 months ago and i already received my card on 10/10. But iv never seen your message before. Its not a standard format for 485 approval. You can go to 485 fourm, people do post approval format for 485 there.
So your online status for 140 is still pending? Do you ever get the notice in mail? Mine is still pending and I never get the notice in mail. I think maye they forget to update cuz there is no way they approve 485 if your 140 is denied.
let me know what is your 140 status like.
Thank you bebesf2000 for you respond but it seems that my case is quite different.
I spent almost 3 hours calling the USCIS.
The first USCIS representative said that my I485 is approved but not my I140
and she said (after putting me on hold several times) that Im gonna get my Green Card soon !! but was not able to explain how I can get the green card without the I140 approval.
I decided to call again on the hope to fall on a different and more "experienced" lady. So the second representative told me that they did an error in updating the computer !
they approved my I485 instead on my I140. So the approved case is the I140! and not I450.
Anyways, this is a good news.
