I-130 approved but 485 pending?

[meemette 0]

We had our interview in NY on Feb. 28 and it went very well, except that at the end the officer said that my I-485 was still pending and noted it in my passport: "I-485 pending DAO sec. 245", does anyone know what this means?

Then, a couple of days ago, I received a CRIS email saying that our I-130 had been approved. Does that mean that the I-485 will be approved soon? Are the two approvals related?

This is so confusing and frustrating...

Did you file the I-130 and I-485 concurrently? The DAO means District Adjudications Office® Section 245, is the section of the INA that relates to adjustments.

Section 245 of the Immigration Act sets forth which aliens are eligible for adjustment of status.

Yes, I filed everything at the same time, which is why I was suprised when my I-130 was approved separately from my I-485...

Usually the I-130 and I-485 are approved at the same time. Not sure what is going on. Hopefully, you will hear about the I-485 approval soon.
