Since 485 is approved, you don’t need 130 anymore

@Hene Wooten check under the documents on the i130 because that has to approve first then your i485,so since the 485 is being approved that means your i130 is also approved
just double check under documents

This is normal and occurs often, typically the purpose of the I-130 is to confirm the qualifying relationship while the I-485 confers the benefit. So having the I-485 approved is a good thing.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
