We have an exciting update with my EAD approved as per the 13th of Feb, which coincidentally is my birthday - what a great birthday gift! 🎁
It has still not updated the status on the USCIS case tracker as being approved, but I found the approval notice under the documents tab, active from the 13th, notice created on the 15th. Looking forward to receiving the approval notice in person and the card of course.
 
I have a question, as I can see lots are receiving their combo cards. The document title states 'standalone approval', which I assume means that it is only for the I-765, and not the I-131 combo (also there is no update/approval under that, which would cooperate that it is standalone').
 
Just wondering if others had a similar situation - regardless, just so happy to have some movement and an approval!
 
Best,
R

Received RFE today 2/27, they are requesting evidence of shared marital life together, basic stuff like shared property, names on lease, joint bank accounts and tax returns, photos of the marriage ceremony.
 
I assume these are being requested as a chance to bypass the interview.

After a long wait, my green card was finally approved last week on January 29th. I filed my AOS back on April 5th last year. I am now waiting for the receipt and looking forward to getting the physical card in my hand. Hopefully, I will receive it soon. I didn't get any interview; it was approved right away with no RFE or anything. My case was processed in one of the NYC offices. Which ones are well known for long processing times

That's OK. I know some people get overwhelmed by evidence volume, but if you read I-751 instructions, they as for as much evidence as you can submit. I sent a lot, and didn't regret it. Approved without RFE or interview.

I had been collecting (even organized) most of these things in folders by month.
Decided to start a google-docs file with the items and photos organized.
Ooph, already hard digging up photos that I thought were going to be easy.

Looks like my future final file will be 125-175 pages or so
 

Gotta love the MyProgress tab for the EAD. Just checked and it says 1 week.  However, in the documents section this just showed up showing the EAD has been approved yet nothing under the AP. 
 
The I-485 shows 7 months......no new documents there either.

It arrived (finally) ... and the SSN card adjustment is complete today.
Up next is DMV ....
 
Will be happy to share any experiences we have in converting over docs but so far things are going about as expected.
That is, with the exception of the Brazilian Consulate ... that is another matter entirely.

Will be here (like I was with I-129F group) to help where I can ... and looking forward to seeing most of you again in ~21 Months when we are filing our I-751s

Remember to collect things that prove the "marriage" is real to support that filing ... (yes, was stupid we had to prove we were engaged, then again at the interview, then again for the AOS but it is what it is).
 

We received our green card on the 22nd, exactly 8 days after our I-485 was approved. I will take a break from this forum and Facebook groups too and just enjoy my time with my spouse. So, see y’all in 21 months! And those who are still waiting: your time is coming soon!

Quick update from our side We just received a notification from the case tracker that a biometrics appointment has been scheduled! Great way to end the week.... now we'll have to wait and see when is the appointment!

Update on my case!
congrats on those who got green card already!
i just checked USCIS website under documents section and there it was! 
Employment Authorization approval!
The date of approval is 12.21.23. Perfect Christmas gift. 
Now just left is Green card 🥰
Submitted my application on 10.05.23,
biometrics on 11.01.23. 

Its absolute rubbish don't believe anything the 'myProgress' tells you.
 
My EAD 'Myprogress' changed to 2 months this morning but guess what..........
 
It was approved and I should be receiving it this week!
 
Hoping the i-485 gets approval too and very soon at that.
 
Keep your head up. and don't go off the progress just keep checking the 'Documents' section and you will find your 'standalone approval' sooner than you think !
 
All the best !
 
 

Weird that Green Card came first .... Think I have to thank @grumpypiggy extra for the idea of fixing that "Subject to Inadmissibility" question that most of us got wrong.

I-485 Approved Today.
Still no I-761 or I-131 (work or travel permission) ... but at least the Green will be on its way

my guess would be you will get approved by tomorrow😆 that’s what happened to me as well (changed from 4 months to 4 weeks, step 3 to 4 the day before approval) maybe you could check with Emma about the current status or just wait another day or two…anyway
 
An early congratulations to you!

my I-485 was approved!!! (tears…)
 
Got the notification from case tracker app, here is the timeline:
 

There is still no approval notice under my 485 documents online...but my status is in step 4 (case decision) instead of step 3(attend interview), and estimated time has changed from 4 months to 4 weeks compared to yesterday.

Ok, I asked two Emma (just to double check) and they both told me my case was approved and card is awaiting production 12-12-2023 today, but my online account case status still showing response to RFE received, guess we will see! I still can't believe this...Hope my wish (get approval on 2 year anniversery of K1 application ---> 12-15-2021) could come ture🥹

Yes, still in step 3….

Congratulations to your husband.
 
Hopefully we all get something before the new years...

I think that depends on the office. After my husband did biometrics on 11/27, it said an estimate of 2 weeks for EAD Decision. His EAD card arrived in the mail this evening.

Hope it all goes smoothly for you! 
 
Gotta love those character debit cards too.
