I-485 Approved! Minneapolis - St. Paul
PD: 01/25/2021.
My interview was last thursday and I was approved on the spot but my case just got updated today. My I-130 is still pending tho.
The IO was super nice with us, he actually was late for our interview so we probably waited 45 minutes for him and the interview itself was only 10 minutes. He only verified our info, some yes and no questions (I-485) and he asked how we met, that’s it. Then he told us if we wanted to gave him new evidence so I gave him new leases, our car loan and my medical exam. After that, He told us we were approved and explained to us the difference between Conditional and Permanent Resident (our marriage was a year and a half ago).

Congrats 🎉🎉. Since your Marriage is a year and half, will you get a conditional or a permanent resident card?

I'm so confused , how are they approving i-485 before the I-130 has been approved? I thought the i-130 was the basis for AOS? congratulations to you though

@Z M I will get the conditional one and then he told me to apply for the permanent one 90 days before my conditional expires.
I dont know why my I-130 is not approved yet, maybe it will update later

congratulations Andrea!! I have a question as I am in Minneapolis too, did you receive your SSN once your EAD arrived or did you have to go to the SSN office or make an appointment?

I got my SSN back in 2015 while on F-1 visa so I just updated my name with the SSN office
