-I have an NIW I140 that was approved in April 2008. I never filed I-485 based on it.
-I then filed an EB1B petition in November 2008. In July 2009, I went ahead and filed I-485 based on the pending EB1B petition. A few days after that I received an approval on the EB1B I-140 petition and receipt/FP notices for I-485 from TSC. The A# on my NIW, EB1B I-140 approval notice and the I-485 receipt and FP notice is the same.
I am hoping that USCIS correctly links my 485 to the EB1 petition. Is it likely that they will link it to the NIW petition? I have seen that happen to some people here but all of them had a prior filed 485. I am thinking that USCIS shouldn't have accepted my I-485 application in July if they linked it to NIW since the PD is not current.
I also hope that they figure out that the pending I-140 at the time of 485 filing has now been apporved and process the case. Per most people there is no need to do anything. Is that correct?
Thanks
