I-485 Eligibility?

I submitted my I-130 on 8/23/21 and received receipt notice on 8/24/21. What should I put under “current visa status” on my I-485 if my SEVIS was terminated (because I take a gap year for F1 visa this year) on 8/24/21? I did enter the US with a valid visa in 2019 but it has since expired. Thanks so much in advance.

I put “No Status”, because I didn’t enroll in school after getting married (also F1). we didn’t run into any issue, and our case got approved.

Did you submit I-765 as well?

yes, but my case moved super fast, so I didn’t get EAD card. AOS is approved 5 months after submitting our forms.

I’m waiting for my green card to be mailed. I didn’t get an EAD card, and at this point I won’t. I was at the NBC and Kendall FO (Miami). However, I’m aware I was lucky and there’s still many people from last year who are waiting.

So what I’m getting is that you wont need your EAD anymore after you get your green card right? And yea congrats on your case! I hope mine will be fast too!
