how come?
Mahmoud IbrahimAug 9, 2023
I don't know if it is mistake or not. I am asking what I can do in that case. I have already received my EAD card
WRV NIW ROWAug 9, 2023
maybe it’s for real! Was your case “remain pending”? My case remains pending since June. I also got my EAD card.

hello @Mahmoud Ibrahim
please read this article:
What Happens When USCIS Still Approves the I-485 Even When a Visa is No Longer Available?
In some cases, even though retrogression has occurred resulting in a visa no longer being available, USCIS may still approve the I-485 application. The question is whether this approval is appropriate or not.
Many times, while researching cases where this has occurred, we have found that USCIS had previously assigned a visa number to an application while visas were available and then later approves the I-485 after the visa was no longer available. This often happened when the Service was ready to approve an application, but could not because a response to a Request for Evidence had not yet been submitted. These types of approvals are appropriate, because the visa number was assigned to the application prior to retrogression occurring.
In other cases, the approval of the I-485 occurred based on a different underlying basis where a visa number is still available. While USCIS normally requires the applicant to request a transfer of underlying basis in writing, we found many instances where USCIS completed the task on its own in order to approve the I-485. These types of approvals are also appropriate and no further action is needed.
However, there have been cases in which the approval when no visa was available was done in error.

It is extremely important to determine whether a green card issued when a priority date is no longer current was issued in error or not. This should preferably be done as soon as the green card is received.

@Mahmoud Ibrahim you need to speak with the USCIS ombushman to confirm that green card was assigned a visa number when the dates where current if that's the case your ok but you will have to return the GC , best if you do because even though it's the agency error you will be punished when it's time for citizenship.
