Experts and I-140/I-485 Concurrent filers with receipt numbers...please help!!!

I have a question for people who filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently and got their receipt numbers.

I have gotten receipt numbers for my concurrently filed I-485 and I-765 as I paid for them (PD April 2003, I-140/I-485 filed at NSC). I do not have receipt for I-140 after more than 2 weeks. My employer is not giving me receipt number for I-140 as he may be wanting more money from me. Now, I have read in a forum that I-140 when applied concurrently should have receipt number very close to I-485 receipt number and normally I-140 receipt number is less than I-485 receipt number (i.e. if I-485's last four digits are 4600 then last 4 for I-140 number will be lower than 4600 and close to it. So, in theory I can scan numbers prior to mine and find closer ones for the same date and track them.

If you can please check your numbers and tell me if your I-140 number is before your I-485 number and how close they are to each other, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

No, that is a terribly unreliable way to predict receipt numbers and I would drop that idea. There is a much simpler way: you said that you already have your I-485 receipt, correct? That means you have your A#, correct? So just call the USCIS customer service center and give them your A#, and they will give you your receipt number. Call on the pretext that you haven't received the receipt, don't tell them specifically that you are calling to get a receipt number. Once they find the I-140 in their system, just ask them if "by the way" you can have that receipt # for your records. I got a missing receipt number like that once, with no problems.
