L1 and I130

[ticktacksir 0]

My wife and I had filed for our I130 back in November. In January a job opportunity through my company came up and I ended up transferring on an L1 visa to our office in the US. Now I received an email today from CRIS stating

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

First...what does this email mean? And secondly...where do we go from here as I was starting to think about sending in a I485 which apparently I should have done with the I130 in the first place, but didn't know?

Thanks in advance.

You should have filed I-130 and I-485 concurrently in the first place....anyways, just file your AOS application and include the copy of the approval notice of your I-130...I don't know if you need to apply for I-765 and I-131 at the same time....but goodluck !!!!
