After I-140?

[pizzamancheese]

The I-140 was approved, the receipt was received.

Have a lawyer.

Is one supposed to wait for the field office to reply and request the I-485, or should one turn in the completed I-485 with applicable documents to the field office?

If your priority date is current, then you should file the I-485 at the service center with jurisdiction over your area. USCIS won't get around to asking you to file the I-485.
