How to switch from CP to AOS while I-140 still pending?

[shuraz]

Gurus,

I just had the I-140 filed with subsequent CP. I have to switch to AOS.
Is there any way/procedure to notify the INS of my decision while the I-140 is still pending and avoid transferring of my approved case to the NVC?
Or alternatively, can I notify the NVC once a case# is assigned so they do not send my case to a Consulate abroad?

Thank you!

Wait till the I-140 is approved

When you apply for AOS, you can request to get your file back from NVC. I thinks this is the best way and wont cause any delays.

No Title

It sounds like too late. One does not have to request files at that stage. It is done automatically once you file I-485. The question is how to prevent documents from transferring to NVC.

Filing 140 with CP is to have an option later for you

to go either for CP or AOS.......To do AOS, you just have to file for 485 and is automatically switched to AOS
