Finally i485 approved wthin 5 months NBC
F1 to H1b to GC .. it was a long road.
special thanks to my employer who did excellent job at every stage from opt (f1) to h1 to perm to i140 to i485.
- 2017 F1 (student)
- 2019 hired on CPT and then continue on OPT after graduation
- 2019 got H1b
- 2020 Perm (may to nov) and i140 (nov -premium processing)
from March 2020 to May 2021 I was outside US because of covid and trump h1b bans. My employer filed my Perm and i140 while I was outside US and special thanks to them as they supported me all that time period of 14 months by allowing me to continue working from outside US.
- 2021 i485 (june to dec) - no interview

Here I see that i485 got approved before i765. Doesn’t i485 approval (green card) makes i765 (ead) redundant ?
Junaid MalikApr 21, 2022
@balaji Uscis cancelled i765 and i131 after gc approval as they were no more required
Balaji AApr 21, 2022
@Junaid - that makes sense. Congratulations on your approval
