I-131 and I-765 after I-140 approval
My I 140 was approved in Jan 2024 and my PD is also Jan 2024 (I used premium). I submitted an AOS with 485, 131, and 765 in February and they were rejected because my Visa is not current.
My question is, can I submit 131 and 765 on their own with my notice of action (I 140 approval ) without the 485 as I wait for my PD to become current? Who has been through this here? Guide me on the process and the fees?
I also already have another EAD, do I check as a first time applicant or as one replacing?

You can only apply for I-131 and 765 when your PD becomes current.
All the best

@Mr Green thank you for your information, this is very confusing though, why would they then allow premium processing?
what is the essence in such a case?

the premium processing was for your i140 only. it doesn't apply to other forms. you MUST wait for your date to be current before you can apply for any of i131, i765, abd i485

@sim k Congratulations on your I140 approval. You can get work authorization and advance Parole while waiting to be current. I am certain about that. All the best

@Abraham's Seed ToP thank you for your information. should I apply and pay for the 2 documents independently?
how is it done?

@sim k Kindly apply for both if you need to travel as well. It's called a Combo Card

@sim k you need to have an I485 as the basis for filing for both I765 and I131, those two are dependent on the I485

you cannot submit I-131 or I-765 without submitting I-485.
You can submit I-485 only when your PD becomes current for filing and/or final action date (check USCIS website for updates when time comes).
