Hi Guys,

I applied I-140 through my attorney. My petition got approved. My lawyer got original approval notice and I got courtesy copy (I-797C).

I wanted to file I485 through my attorney. But, she told attorney fee will be $2100 per petition. So, I filed I485 on my own. While filing I-485, I sent the copy of the courtesy copy along with my petition, since I did not have the original approval notice.

Today, I saw that the courtesy copy says that "This courtesy copy may not be used in lieu of official notification to demonstrate the filing or processing action taken on this case". So does this mean that I should have send a copy of original notification? or the copy my my courtesy copy is sufficient?:confused:

Gurus... please suggest! Should I expect a RFE?

Thanks in advance.
