@ Not sure why they’ve been approving I-130s after interviews and then leaving I-485 hanging. You probably will hear from them after a couple of weeks. Are you from one of the 39 countries designated? Were you out of status when you filed? What kind of visa did you enter on?

Brazilian, not iut of status because when I submitted my application i was valid F1
