I485 approved but no EAD yet

[bored1]

Hi All, I got an email from USCIS today stating that my 485 has been approved. I thought the next step after 140/FP is EAD, but no signs of the EAD approval. How relevant is EAD to my PR processing now?

Thanks

if you have your I-485 approved, why are you bothered about EAD?
It is not relevant. Your PR is done pending passport stamp and plastic card arrival which might be mere formalities...

After i-485 approval EAD/AP does not matter.
But ofcourse you should have your I-140 approved too for your i-485 approval to be meaningful (look in forums for such a situation).

Your I-485 approval means that you PR (green card) have been approved. You do not need EAD and you probably won't get the approval.

Anyway, congratulations on your approval!
