Calm down, are you DV 2010 or 2011?
I blv 2011.
If it is DV 2011, you are NOT supposed to send in your i-485 until after Oct 1 st 2010, that too ONLY IF your number is current.
You number will be current only next yr around July.
If you have send in i-485, you will be lucky if they return your docs without cashing the chk. If they cash the chk, you will get a reject letter and your money is gone for good!!
get on to DV 11 AoS only forum for more info.
Do not worry about sending the $440 to DoS yet.
Best!

yeah, hopefully.
Even if they cash and you get reject letter just bite the bitter truth and refile when your CORRECT time comes.
However, they may just go ahead and issue you NoA etc, as if the application is ok and accepted. Then if you wait you will be called upon for intvw late next year AND if you are a rare lucky one, may get approved, but most likely you will be rejected at the intvw or when the FO review application.
Still if enough time is left, you can refile.
My best advise is, even if they seemingly accept your pack and issue NoA, write and withdraw the application. They will not refund you.
Refile when correct time comes. Option is up to you, but do not risk 'cos your number is higher.
Maintain your current visa (F? H?) until your GC is approved for good!
Best!
PS: Remember, CP is an option for you as well. What is your native land? keep an eye on how things move in that country if they have a forum here. If not find out how it works there. CP is very strt fwd than AoS, especially for those with high CN s.
