For Info sake ( I-485 & I-140 link)

[Texas_NIW]

This is for information sake only :

we know that If your I-140 gets rejected , I-485 automatically gets rejected, now what if you have an approved I-140 and your I-485 is rejected ( say for some strange technical reason ) in that scenario does one have to refile I-140 and start the whole process from scratch or just refile I-485 while I-140 once approved remains live forever?

Thanks in advance

Rejected or denied...?

Rejected might be for wrong fees and so on. Denied might be for some serious reason. Please clarify?

Actually I meant rejected for lack of some paper etc. But my main query is iin both these circumstances can one apply new I-485 on the basis of the previously approved I-140 or does he have to start all over.

Also how can we tell to which I-140 ( if multiple applied) is the I-485 linked too. Can we tell it by the receipt number itself ( or the receipt number the same for I-140 & 485) or we can check it later by logging in to the uscis website?
