I-765 approved BUT

[IRVDUNKED23 3]

I was hoping to get some thoughts on what’s going on. My wife went for biometric appointment on 3/8/24. On 3/11/24 an approval of I-765 was uploaded in the document section. The original I-765 approval was received via US mail on 3/15 with social security card following shortly after on 3/16/2024. However as of 3/25/2024 case status has remained case is being actively reviewed as of 3/8/2024. We did receive an email on 3/20/2024 saying are case was transferred to our local field office. Any insight on what is going on that can be offered would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Which case got transferred? I-485?

That's normal, likely going to have an interview.

 

If she hasn't received EAD, maybe USCIS want to review entire AOS packet together and issue GC instead after interview.

Yes the I-485 case was transferred to the field office. I was hoping to have the I-765 approved and the EAD card in hand so she can secure employment but I guess USCIS has other plans

That's a good sign I suppose. GC is likely going to be approved soonish. USCIS got greedy lately, and doesn't issue as many EAD / AP cards, rather approve GC.

Update:

website updated on 3/28 showing EAD card produced. We received the card on 3/29 and the website updated on the same day to show card mailed and provided a tracking number. It would appear that the website is 3-5 days behind with showing updates

Update…

I-485 was approved 4/27, however I-130 still showing processing. What does this mean? Will they mail green card? Or do we have to wait until I-130 is processed?

The I-130 is the basis for the I-485.  The status page sometimes lags behind a bit.  Yes, they will mail a Green Card.
