I-485 appointment scheduled before EAD approval?
It seems so weird I got my green card interview scheduled before my EAD is approved. Is this normal? Am I getting the EAD anytime soon? I got my fingerprints prints taken 2 weeks ago after a long wait (10 months)
I don't know exactly when will my interview be because I'm waiting for the notice of action, but I bet it will be next month (according to other cases) I do need the EAD because I need to renew my driver license and work! So if anyone can share their timeline or experience with me, that'd be awesome so I can get an idea of what's next. Have a great day!

I had my interview scheduled
2 weeks before approval of my EAD card. my EAD card arrived some days before my interview. I ended up not using as my green card was approved during my interview.

you don't need to wait for the interview letter to know the date, go to ask Emma in USCIS website, chat with an agent and ask them about the date of your interview, they will tell you. I did the same.
