Interesting... I created a brand new test account and there was nothing between (c)(8) and (c)(11).

Maybe it's clever to know whether I-485 was filed and accepted by USCIS... or it was a temporary glitch

 

Mysterious.... I wonder what the deal is

It is because there are 2 ways to file online

 

"File form online" and "file online PDF"

 

(c)(9) category are only able to file online PDF (latter option) vs filling out the form online (former) 

 

Found this out myself first hand after having issues with USCIS; filed i-485 and i-765 concurrently but only received case number and receipts for i-485 yet no rejection notice for i-765, after looking into it USCIS advised me to refile. After deciding to file online since I now had my OAC and account set up, I did successfully e-file for my (c)(9) based i-765. Was annoying submitting several pdfs to a temperamental upload system but was successful none-the-less. The more you know! 

 

To the OP: yes you can file i-765 online with an already received i-485, it requires you to include your i-485 receipt notice within that application though.

Thanks for explaining this!
