Green Card interview before EAD!?
I just received my I-485 interview date in mail today! Date is for Aug 25 in Boston. But, I am yet to receive my EAD card and I'm wondering if this a normal scenario? Has this happened to anyone else?

which category is your visa?

what was that RFE about? I 693 or something different?
Rachit GuptaJul 27, 2021
Category C9 for the Green Card - marriage based green card. Filed for the EAD concurrently with i485. The RFE was for a missing birth certificate, which was sent and then i693 deficiency notice received after that.

this is normal. usually, when you have an interview date already, it doesn’t make sense to produce your EAD card when you will have your green card soon. Good luck! I am based in Boston also. let me know how it goes

Same issue here. I submitted my I-485 and I-765 together back in October, 2020. Interview scheduled in Boston next month and yet to receive the EAD. 🙄 Annoying!
