What's the difference between the two I485 pending messages?

Guys:

When I check the online case status from INS site, I noticed two different I-485 pending messages after FP:

1) On xxxxxx, the results of your fingerprint review for your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status were received, and processing has resumed on your case. We will mail you a notice if further action is needed, or when a decision is made.

2) On xxxxxx, the fingerprints for your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status were collected and are pending review.

I'm confused, what is the difference between these messages? Which one is closer to the approval? Does anybody have ideas about this?:confused:

Fingerprints messages

Once the Fingerprints are collected by the INS, the message changes to the message #2 in your post. Then the collected fingerprints are matched to the criminal records ('Reviewed'). Once the review is completed and the fingerprints are ok'ed the message #1 is displayed. Hope this answers your question. Wish you goodluck!
