After Green Card, USCIS closed EAD and AP case?

[Waytwofast 23]

This may have been talked about elsewhere and if so I apologize. 

 

My wife and I filed for her AOS after we got married, we had our biometrics, and our interview and she received her green card in the mail. At the same time we filed the AOS we also sent in an EAD and an AP. 

 

When I checked the cases for the EAD and the AP, USCIS says they closed those cases because the benefit was receives by other means. 

 

I'm just wondering if that is normal,  because I assumed by filing the EAD and the AP now, they would have sent us her SSN and advanced parole after GC approval. 

 

Anybody else run into this? What did you do?

The AP and EAD are no longer needed as she has the Green Card. This is why the two applications are now cancelled.

Go to the SS office with passport GC and birth certificate and apply for a SSN

Okay SSN go to the office and reapply, but what about the AP? Is she allowed to travel outside the country and coming back with a LPR, but without an AP?

That’s what the green card allows you to do, yes. I suggest she read the info leaflet that came with the green card, and the more in-depth information online, on the “welcome to the USA” site that details rights and responsibilities of a green card holder. It includes information about traveling and many other factors.

~~Moved to AOS progress Report, from K1 Progress reports - As this is no longer a K1 process.~~

AP is only for when your AoS is pending. Her case is no longer pending; it's been approved. GC is all she needs.

Apparently people don't realize EAD and AP are interim benefits 

[Waytwofast 23]

I did not know they were interim benefits, but I also didn't think the green card process was going to go so quickly either. We were quoted 18-36 months, it took less than 3.

Seems your wife got her 2020 Christmas gift early. Enjoy it and forget about USCIS for now.
