anyone filed i485 this or last month

[joyo]

I sent my I485 application to Chicago on Jan. 25, 2005. I included I140 receipt (not approval receipt, my I140 is pending) in my package. So far, I have not received the I485 receipt, and my checks have not been cashed. I believe the amount of checks were correct. Anyone has an idea what is going on there. I consulted an attorney and he said they might send my package back, because I have not got I140 approved and not have an approval notice in package. Is it correct?

I checked Post Office and they confirmed that Chicago office had received the package on Jan. 27, 2005.

Thanks
