Got approved for combo card
Hope my I-130 and I-485 will be approved soon :)
I just want to share my long story. Originally, I started EB-2 process, but I ended up withdrawing the case after long wait and got suffered from the former employer. I’m not in hurry as I hold H1b visa and am happy with my current employer and my husband, so I didn’t expedited combo card. Still, I want the GC one day. Wish everyone gets the CARD soon :)
FYR, I want to share my past EB-2 GC timeline in Texas Service Center.

Did you use i485 applied (eb2) and transfer it for your your current process? I started with eb2niw, when my LC was approved and 140 from my eb3 process, I ended up withdrawing my 140 from my eb2niw too. They sent me a letter only that they receiced my withdraw but never saying they changed my 485 to my eb3 approved (140). It makes me crazy sometimes.....My status is depending of this cause my i20 ended up too. I don't want to lose almost 5k in fee paid for it.

@lion of judah No, I couldn’t. The two cases were treated as completely separate cases. I heard some eb2 cases can be downgraded to eb3, but it seems different from your case. I’m not sure if you can use your 485 to eb3 approved (140). Did you talk with your lawyer?
