Speaking for recent years, I485 needs go to local INS after it approved at a service center. A local INS office will interview you to verify you info and your application are matched. At that time, he/she will give you the real approval.
This is not good news or bad news, the procedure is normal to me.

PS. I am spoken for Relative based... not sure if NIW is different.
