Carla,

Having admitted the error on the firm's part, don't forget to ask your attorney to refund the I-130 filing fee to you. Most attornies have the client pay the filing fees separately from the fee for their work.

Thanks everybody for you help and comments! I finally got an answer from our lawyer, I thought I would share this:

"I did check your file; you are correct, it was an

oversight on our firm's part to include an I-130 for you, strictly

speaking it was not necessary. Sorry for

the confusion. However, please do not be concerned about it having any

effect on your case. Whether an I-485 is filed based on an I-130 (for

instance, spouse of a US citizen in the USA as a vistor) or an existing

approved I-129F for a K-1 fiancé), I have never seen a difference in the

processing times it takes for the I-485 to make it from the "National

Benefits Center" (NBC) in Missouri to the local USCIS office in

Bloomington. There is no extra pre-processing of the I-130 done by NBC,

rather if an I-130 is needed in a case (non-K-1 cases), then the local

office just decides the I-130 on the day of the interview along with the

I-485. So I don't think this will have any effect on your case, and

nothing is gained by trying to withdraw the 130 now, better just let the

485 continue in normal course from Missouri to the local office like any other case. "

I'm not completely sure I trust him, but since I'll have my biometrics appointment for June 9th, I will ask at the local office and see what they have to say about it. I'll let it rest until then...

You bet! :yes:

To be fair, I should add that they said they already sent a check on the way (for the filing fee)! Guess I can invite my husband to a nice dinner this weekend!
