So, the EAD arrived today, which is nice. At least my wife can start working, which will make her happy.

The bigger question, though, is "does this mean anything, either way, about our 130/485?" We filed in August, but haven't heard anything back on that (other than the biometrics), so should we be encouraged by the fact that we haven't gotten any RFE's? Is there any point at which we're "safe", or should we expect that we could get one at any point along the way?

Is the fact that she got her EAD any indication that things are likely to go smoothly for the AOS, or are they adjudicated entirely separately?

Hey, congrats!! Technically, you can get an RFE at any stage, even at your interview. But, I would guess that you have a really good chance of being RFE free now. The EAD is given to all AOS applications as a matter of course, so the fact that you got it doesn't mean your interview will be a walk in the park. But, everything is moving according to schedule and hopefully you'll get your interview appointment soon. The 130 and the AOS will be decided at the interview. Good luck!

As a matter of fact Harpa,I have seen people get an RFE at the interview and suspending the decision till the RFE was fulfilled. They later got their green card after providing the proper documents for their RFE. I agree with you a %100! Goodluck on the rest of your journey!
