They are not related
k3hcl,
Technically an FP is related to a 485 application only. FPs should shave no bearing on your 140. However, TSC has been issuing FP notices before approving 140s and in a lot of cases (mine included), the 140s are getting approved within a couple of months of FP. That has been the trend these days. Hopefully your case will fall under this trend and you will get your 140 approved soon after FP.
Good luck.
