transfer of underlying basis
I have an I-485 pending based on I-130 (marriage-based with a lawful permanent resident), however, my I-140 got approved and I had mentioned in my I-140 that I want to transfer the basis of my 485 to 140 once it is approved. does any one know that what will happen? do I need to send a letter to NBC (where my I-485 is there) to request for a transfer ?

talk to a lawyer. we did a transfer but between employment, I think it’s more difficult between family and employment GCs.
And what is the reason you’re thinking about a transfer?
In most cases it’s better to just send a new I-485

the reason is I won’t need to file affidavit of support form, because my spouse does not have enough income and I will get an RFE in this regard. also, the processing time is much less compared to family based one. I’ve heard that if I file a new 485, then USCIS will get confused. Did you receive any letter regarding the transfer that has been granted?

@ali afshar How did you do the transfer? how did you send the written notice?

@J P Can you tell me how you transferred between employment. I want to transfer from EB2-NIW to EB1A
