I recieved my I-140 approval through labor today. it says petitioner has indicated he will adjust status in USA even though we had clearly stated consular process at chennai in the I-140 form. what a mess.

Also there is no Alien number on the approval notice.

what should I do now. how to correct it back to consular processing. I-824?.
what a mess I am going to loose many months to change to CP

Try these:

1. Ask your attorney to contact the Service Center and point the error and see if they can resend the 'Approval Notice' with CP option.
2. Browse the CP Forums - Check to see if Chennai Consulate accepts 'Attorney Certified I-140'. If they do, then you can just file 824 and use its receipt and work with the consulate to schedule a CP interview. I have seen Mumbai & Delhi consulates doing AC 140 but not Chennai consulate. No harm in trying.
3. If 1 and 2 doesn't work, then you have no other option other than going the route of 824 OR Change mind and file 485 and get EAD etc.

Good Luck.
