Not yet! Very, very thankful to have my EAD & SSN and have, since April. Also I do believe since we're AOS, the I-485 trumps the I-130. I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong on that. I've always understood the process that way though🙂

 

Hope all is well with you while you wait.

If the I-485 interview schedule comes before I-130 approval, the USCIS officer will adjudicate the I-130 and I-485 at the same time.  So while the I-485 approval depends on the I-130 approval, the I-485 interview schedule does not depend on it.

@Chancy do they usually  approve the two together or is it possible the I-130 will be approved before the scheduled interview? Texas takes 11.5 months , I'm currently 11th months in  since I filed my I-130 and my local field office takes 16 months for I-485 processing

It's possible for the I-130 to be approved first, but it won't mean you'll get an I-485 interview sooner.

Thank you! I appreciate you.

☺️All good here! 

Congratulations on your EAD/AP approval! I know for a while back there it was causing you some stress waiting. It’s been a little over a year since my husband filed the I-130 so who knows? When I filed my AOS a few months after I got a RFE re the I-130 and it was from NBC. I’m assuming it’s there until it is sent to my local field office in El Paso.
