I-130 approved - I485 and EAD still Pending!
My i130 was approved in 5.5 months! But i485 and EAD, no update since fingerprints.
Interview was waived and it’s in West Palm Beach office for adjudication.
Anyone in the same situation?

An I-130 approval does not automatically mean the I-485 or EAD will be approved immediately afterward even when the interview is waived. Many people see no movement on the I-485 after biometrics while the case sits at the field office for final review. The good news is that an approved I-130 is usually a strong step forward in a marriage-based case, especially with interview waiver noted. West Palm Beach timelines can still vary quite a bit though, so unfortunately some additional waiting is normal
