Looks like it is mistake. Is it your second FP appt? It is possible that they already have FP with them and I 140 and I 485 both approved on the same date - within an hour difference.
No, it's the first one. I really hope I-140 is approved :-)

Here is a quick update from the California Service Center regarding this new fee. The additional filing fees of $2,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $2,250 for certain L- 1A and L-1B petitions is applicable to petitioning employers who employ 50 or more employees in the United States and 50% of the petitioner�s employees are in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status. The PL 111-230 fees do not apply to petitions requesting an extension of H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status with the same employer (only for initial filings for a new beneficiary).
When the fee is not required, it is critical that the petitioner explicitly acknowledge this and explain why it is not required in the I-129 filing. If this is not done, USCIS will likely issue a Request for Evidence asking for a statement from the petitioner, causing unnecessary delays in processing.
The Service Center previously stated:
Until the Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) and the Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition (Form I-129S) are revised, USCIS recommends that all H-1B, L-1A, and L-1B petitioners include, as part of the filing packet, the new fee or a statement or other evidence outlining why this new fee does not apply. USCIS requests that petitioners include a notation indicating whether or not the fee is required in bold capital letters at the top of the cover letter. The fee, statement, notation, or other evidence should be provided with each petition submitted. Where the fee or documentation is not submitted with the filing, or where questions remain, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence to determine whether the additional fee applies to the petition.The following is a sample statement that the petitioner employer could use:
By this statement we confirm that our company (the petitioner) is not required to pay the H-1B filing fee under Public Law 111-230. Our business does not have more than 50 percent of our employees in the United States in H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant visa status. Therefore, we are not required to pay the additional filing fee.
Please email me with any questions regarding the above referenced info.

Hi,
My H1B expired on sept 2009. My employer applied for my visa extension I received my approved 797 copy, but I 94 number on my 797 and passport are not matching. To explain further, when I first entered in US in March 2007 I got I 94 (ex: 123), when I last time entered in US in April 2008 I got I94 (ex: 456) which is my latest I94 number displayed on my passport. My latest H1B extension valid till sept 2012 is showing I 94 number issued to me when I entered in 2007 (123) instead of my latest I 94 number(456) attached to my passport.
Will this be a problem? I have to sponsor my in-laws visa so please guide me how this can be handled. Any help appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
USCIS goes by what is called "last action rule". The last action was the extension issued after you came into the country, even though it has the 123 number on the I-94. So, you should be ok.

my 140 approved and 485 pending over 180 days. now plan to switch job from a big IT company to university (not study, but work in one of dept at Univ), title and job duty will be similar as before, but salary will be lower due to job industry and location changed. does this impact my 485 final approval? thanks
