Hello, I am hoping someone who has had a similar experience can educate me on this issue. I filled both my I130 and my I485 at the Chicago lockbox on the same day, but in different envelopes. In the 485 envelope, I mistakenly included an extra fee for the I864 (was confused by the instructions), and the USCIS rejected the 485 application and sent it back to me for incorrect fee. I then refilled the following week including the receipt notice for the I130 (which has ben routed to the California service center). I got my I485 receipt notice this week and saw that it is being processed in the Missouri Service center. I am wondering how come both applications have been separated and how will they join them together to ensure the processing is smooth? Any experiences or insights will be appreciated. thanks!

How do you know your I130 has been routed to the California service center?
 
Any experiences from people who filled I-485 few days after filling I-130 or those whose applications went to different service centers will be appreciated please!
