Approved I-130 but application returned by NVC

All,

I am unclear on how to proceed and would appreciate any guidance you may be able to offer.

My I-130 was approved by the USCIS in February of 2009. I was told that no action was required and I would be contact by the National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire. I was contacted later in the year by the NVC and asked to alert them if I intended to apply for a change in status in the United States. I indicated I did indeed wish to change status here and below is the reply I received:

"The NVC received notification of the beneficiary's intent to adjust status in the United States. The NVC does not process adjustment ofstatus cases. We will hold the petition at the NVC until we are notified by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS-formerly known as INS) to return the petition to them. To apply for adjustment of status in the US you must contact the nearest CIS office and submit a copy of the approval notice (Notification of Immigrant Visa Approval) sent to the petitioner by CIS."

I am unsure of how to proceed. I don't think I can file an I-485 yet because I am married child of a US Citizen so my date is nowhere even close to being current. What do I do?
