What gets approved first in the AOS packet?

[visawaver 2]

After sending in our adjustment of status packet from VWP, I was curious to know, in what order do the petitions/documents get approved?

Does the I-130 get approved first, than the I-485? Or is everything approved at the same time? What about the EAD?

Also, at what point does the "temporary visitor" status of the VWP change, and what does it change to? Does the first NOA letter grant any legal status to stay in the US like someone with a real visa? At what point is an "A" number received?

We sent in our I-130 several months ago,then sent in the I-485 package later.Does that make approval of the I-485 any faster?

What is going to happen is your I-130 will get approved and then once that gets approved your EAD will get approved after, not sure the time frame. Most likely before or after the EAD gets approved you will get an AOS interview at your local USCIS office. For the AOS interview they will want to see co-mingling of assets, etc. At the AOS interview they may make a decision or they may wait to make a decision as sometimes they give the petition to the supervisor after they have interviewed you to make the decision. If I am wrong someone pls post.

You are mistaken.

If an I-130 has been previously filed and then an I-485 is filed also, the two will be matched up by USCIS and proceed as a concurrent filing. Neither the I-130 or I-485 will be approved before the interview.

Any I-765 and / or I-131 applications that were also submitted will be processed by the NBC and adjudicated as separate applications. The important two (I-130 and I-485) will eventually be routed to the local office having jurisdiction over your home address, and scheduled for an interview.
