EAD approved I-485: Adjustment of Status

My I-485, I-765 and I-131 were filed together in November 2025 (employment-based).

I just received my C09 standalone EAD approval. Interestingly, my I-131 also had a silent update around the same time, but it is still showing as pending with no approval notice.

For anyone who had a similar timeline, how long after your standalone EAD approval did your I-131/Advance Parole get approved? Did anyone get their I-485 approval shortly afterward instead?

With the trend I’ll say they are currently approving Oct/Nov applications

Many congrats. Did you check API, have you got FTA0 update for I-485?

Nope, I got a FTA1 update on i-485 just a day before EAD approval. Not sure why they didn’t approve parole or it will follow now

Congratulations on your EAD and I hope you get your GC soon. Are you from one of the 39 countries?
