Does anyone know when the I-130 is approved after the I-485 is approved? That one is still under Initial Review.

Oh and do they cancel the EAD since it's obsolete anyway?

From what others have experienced, it seems the i-130 stays under initial review till a decision on the i-485 is made or the card is mailed out and/or received. so in your case, it probably might change to approved or some other status in a couple of days since they have already started producing your green card. Congratulations once again! :-)

I pretty much took everything I sent to Chicago with me (with the originals of the marriage certificate and my birth certificate) plus our joint credit cards and some other new evidence, but not a whole lot, to be honest. It seems like I provided enough to begin with. I sent in a bunch of photos from travels around the world, 3 affadivits of bonafide marriage, congratulations cards from my friends and family in Germany and travel itiniaries with flight bookings and hotels and stuff. We traveled a lot in the last three years, so we had lots of that kind of evidence that I think is quite substantial as you wouldn't travel around that much with a pseudo partner just to gain evidence.

On a side note, my I-130 is approved now and the I-485 is back to decision, but I gathered that this is normal. I can't find a tracking number though, which is kinda weird. We never got any texts/emails until the very first NOAs either. I am hoping to luck out yet again and to have the card here Friday or Saturday, that'd be swell. :)

Just got another USCIS update that my EAD card has been mailed. I'm certain I should receive it latest by Friday. Does anyone know if the USPS guys will require signature or not. I am fine with them just dropping it in the mailbox. I just don't want to be up the whole time waiting for them to show up so I can sign.

I just tracked it and it's actually at their sorting facility just 7 min away from my house (I go past that post office almost every day). Hopefully they come early while I'm still at home because my wife and I have plans to go out later today lol. Good to know that I will be getting the EAD today though.
