My I-130 was approved today but my I-485 still says "Case ready to be scheduled for an interview". What happens now? Will I still have the interview or has my interview waived off?

They are separate forms. Expect an interview.

A few people are seeing the interviews waived for the I-485 due to the lack of in person meetings, but these are generally AOS from K-1 visas, which means they had an interview abroad already about the relationship.

Is it a norm for the I-130 to get approved before the interview? I had my interview scheduled but had to be cancelled because of the current situation.

It is possible to be waived for the I-130 and still be interviewed for the I-485.   They only need one interview.

Depends on who adjudicated it. Usually they are adjudicated together after the interview, but it's possible they were still separated.

Unless you get a notice stating otherwise (like an approval notice), wait for an interview.
