Text/email and hardcopy means the same thing - they have accepted your case, meaning they didn't reject it.

K-1: 12-22-2015 - 09-07-2016

AP: 12-20-2016 - 04-07-2017

EAD: 01-18-2017 - 05-30-2017

AOS: 12-20-2016 - 07-26-2017

ROC: 04-22-2019 - 04-22-2020
Naturalization: 05-01-2020 - 03-16-2021

U.S. passport: 03-30-2021 - 05-08-2021

You know they did because otherwise they would have rejected it. Once you're married and file for AOS you can't use the category you used, when they go through your paperwork to decide if they're going to accept it or reject it, they will notice that you are ineligible for that category. That's when they either correct it or reject your application.

That makes sense.

Hi!

I am new here and I would like to ask for your help!

 

I am K-1 visa holder, going to get married in 3 weeks (end of this month) and then submit I-765 form together with my I-485 form.

I have a question about I-765 form. It has been changed recently and this drives me crazy!

 

New I-765 form has a question:

19. Current Immigration Status (Visitor, Student, etc.) 

 

What should I specify if I am K-1 visa holder who married?

 

It could be the situation that I will apply for AOS and EAD after my K-1 visa expires (I have 90 days for applying for AOS from the date of marriage)...

So how is my official status between marriage and approved AOS called????

 

Thank you for help!
