Getting an I-485 filing request after I-130 approval

[ferbal 0]

We filed for my husband's AOS on January 2022, our timeline goes something like this:

 

January 2022: Filed I-130, I-130A, I-485, I-765 and I-864 in the same package. Two weeks after we got the I-485, I-130 and Biometric receipt.

February 2022: Biometrics appointment

March 2022: Received EAD

June 2022: Received AP (we filed these last two separately without knowing it could all be filed at once)

November 2022: Received a RFE and sent evidence two weeks after

December 2022: Evidence and I-130 approved, BUT the I-130 approval letter asks to file a I-485: "The petition indicates that the beneficiary wishes to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident. They should submit a copy of this notice, along with a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status."

 

Does anyone know why this is being required again? Or is it just a template and our I-485 is actually being reviewed now? Our assessor says we don't need to worry since the USCIS clearly already received our I-485 and has been paid for, but I can't find any information on this online. Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks. I meant assessor as in "advisor" (the person who has been helping us with the forms)
