“Visa Bulletin current” - Status on I-485

Hi peeps I have a quick question My I-485 was updated by USCIS today to “Visa bulletin current” while my I-131 was simultaneously updated to “case closed benefit received by other means” This seems confusing to me. My 1-765 was already approved mid last month. Does that mean that my I-485 would be approved soonest? Thanks for your insights.
