EAD Approved, safe to assume GC will be?

[JEC777 13]

Hi guys, I've just received the email from USCIS saying my EAD is in production....woohoo!!

on April 19th I received an RFE in regard to the I-485, requesting more evidence to support income and 2012 tax transcript. They put the processing of my EAD on hold until they received the RFE response. We sent in the RFE response, which they received on the 22nd of May, including tax transcripts and 6 months pay stubs and a new employment letter. Is it safe to say that the RFE response was sufficient, given they have now approved the EAD, and that they will approve the GC?

Thanks!!

Most likey, although their are separate review processes for each.

How do you know that they put the EAD application on hold? As far as I know those applications are processed separately.

You are probably okay, but not necessarily. Approval of the EAD does not guarantee approval of the green card.

When I received the RFE's, my 3 children received one for their I-485's and I received 1 for my I-485, but in the letter it also referred to my I-765 and it's separate case number and said that until the RFE response review was received, processing for the I-765 would be put on hold. Can't remember the exact wording as I had to send the RFE letter back with the RFE response. So I am hoping that they were satisfied with what was supplied in the RFE and will go ahead and approve my GC too.....fingers crossed!!!

That would be a bit silly as the greencard makes the EAD a bit redundant.
