I am confused. My lawyer told me that he is gonna file my I-140 and I 485 together before Aug 17th but I have an impression that I 1440 needs to be apply before July 30th to avail Aug 17th date. Is that the case or you may file I 140 any time before Aug 17th ?

Thanks
 
I didnt see it mentioned clearly in the pdf file. Can you point out the part of the document which clearly states that I-140 needs to be filed before July 31.
 
Here is the FAQ from USCIS,

Q10: Will USCIS accept employment-based adjustment of status applications under July Visa Bulletin No. 107 if the priority date is August 1, 2007 or later?
A10. No.
Q11: Will USCIS accept adjustment applications under July Visa Bulletin No. 107 if the priority date is before July 31, 2007, but the certification is granted after August 1, 2007?
A11. Yes, USCIS will accept such cases provided they are submitted by August 17, 2007.
Q12: Will USCIS accept concurrently filed I-140s/I-485s filed after July 31 when a labor certification is not required (i.e. priority date is established on or after August 1)?
A12. USCIS will accept properly filed Forms I-140 filed on behalf of aliens with a priority date on or after August 1, 2007; however, pursuant to August Visa Bulletin No. 109, USCIS will reject any concurrently filed adjustment of status applications filed by aliens with a priority on or after August 1, 2007.
 
Q 12 applies for applicants which DONT require labor certification which I dont think a majority of people here are not... right?
Most applicants have gone through normal labor certification so that rule does not apply.
 
Please note the distinction between Priority Date and I-140 filing date. Question 12 applies for priority date only. When I-140 filing date will be used as PD then filing (I-140, I-485) between August 1, and August 17, 2007 will be rejected.
