The I-765 is an interim benefit dependent on an active and approvable I-485.... With an RFE on the I-485 your application is no longer active or currently approvable until you respond and the I-485 resumes normal processing. Once you respond to the I-485, then the I-765 will also resume normal processing. It sucks, but that is the way it is.
RFE for I-485 - why delaying I-765?
