Will I-485 be delayed because approved i-130 is at NVC?

Hi all, hope someone can help. I just filed for Adjustment of Status for my husband, who was here on a B-2 visa. We were stuck at NVC and decided we did not want to go to his home country as a family, where I was living for the past 3 years. (I am a USC). All the paperwork seems to be in check, and USCIS gave go ahead for the AOS.

My question is as follows: Does adjudication of the i-485 require that the i-130 file at NVC be matched even though I am approved. Isn't the NOA2 for the I-130 enough to prove a bona fide marriage.. (Hmmm perhaps not), Would welcome any insight. Thanks!

What do you mean by USCIS gave the go ahead?

Ah yes, sorry for being vague. When a case is at NVC and the petitioner states either in writing or otherwise, that the beneficiary is in the U.S. and would like to Adjust Status, NVC suggests the following: "Please contact USCIS immediately in order to ensure that the beneficiary is eligible for adjustment of status." By writing go-ahead in my post, I simply meant a phone call to USCIS and questionnaire from an officer deemed my spouse eligible for Adjustment of Status.

I'll rephrase the question. Does a standalone i-485 take more time to approve than concurrent i-130/i-485. Does USCIS need to joiin both files, therefore request my already approved i-130 back from NVC. Any insght would be sincerely welcomed! Cheers!
