Concurrent filing 140 & 485 : Aug 2007
EAD received : Nov 2007
i140 Approved : Jan 2008
Received EAD renewal : Dec2008

Till Dec 2008 I was on my H1B

Changed job in Dec 2008 with the renewed EAD.

On APR 3th,2009 I received a mail notification on my i140. The status has been changed to "This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred".
(please recall that this was the i140 that was approved almost a year ago.)

The status on USCIS website doesn't give any further info than the usual processing times and the we will mail you our decision etc..

I believe my previous employer would have withdrawn my 140 which could have caused the change of case status.

I am confused about the transfer part in the case status message and also would like to request the advice of the Gurus here on how to proceed at this point. I haven't filed my AC21 or AP. I thought of filing the AC21 once they send me a notice advising to file for AC21 in case the previous employer withdraws the 140. but it looks like USCIS may or may not send the notice. Your valuable time and advice are really appreciated.
 
Hi same thing happened to me. my I140 was approved in aug 04 and last week on may 5 2009 i received email sayin that 140 has been transferred and is pending decision.
few weeks back they sent me a notice that 485 is also transferred to Nebraska
I talked to lawer and he said that they are consolidating all of them in nebraska.
most likely your employer has not cancelled your 140.
call me or email me if you want to discuss.
btw. i am also in the same boat as you are.
