I guess the bottom line is that there is no connection between
FP, RFE, EAD, AOS and 485 approval, no matter how much
people would like to find one. The only real relationship is
that if you don't act upon receiving FP / RFE notices you won't
get approved. Besides that, all these are 100% independent.
EAD application does not 'trigger' approval, 2nd FP does not
'trigger' approval, etc. Think about it, once someone gets approved, there's a good chance he/she just completed one
of these (FP, EAD, AOS, RFE) since you get one of these every
3-4 months on the average. The fact that one got approved
after FP, RFE, EAD or AOS is just a coincidence and statistically
very probable too.
