Do NOT do anything with the NVC. Stop all NVC correspondence. Send the I-485 and accompanying forms to Chicago, and include a copy of your I-130 approval notice. Then they will move your I-130 away from NVC and send it to match up with the I-485.

You've done this a bit backwards, so it's become more complicated. NVC is trying to set you up to do a spousal visa and interview in your home country.

Was your J-1 subject to the two year home-residence requirement? (which box is checked on the DS-2019?)

Thank you so much

No , my DS was not subjected to 2yrs

You should send proof of that (i.e. a copy of your DS-2019) with the I-485.

You don't need NVC number. You do need to include a copy of your NOA2 with your I-485.
