My I-140 case was filed in 08/2003 and I-485 filed two months after.. Haven't heard anyone whose 2003 I-140 case is still pending!! My lawyer said they have seen similar scenarios - CIS claims that they will not adjudicate the I-140 petition until FBI clearance has been approved. I wonder if there is only a couple California Center officers doing things this way, for most my co-workers got their I-140 approved, although some unlucky ones like me are still waiting for 485.
