@Ruben123 : So you filed all three (i-130,i-485 and I-765) together. I know they won't send work-permit (EAD card) until your I-130 is approved. You should have received a receipt saying your i-130 is approved. (I am confused, i was under the impression that a person is eligible for EAD, only after I-130 gets approved. "Well on the case like yours and mine"). What is your Priority date?

@Gaurav123: Yes that is true, she does not need to maintain F1 status if I-130 gets approved.
she is eligible to change her status to Permanent Resident(I-485).

Guys, in my case, i filed i-130 at first and when it got approved then only i filed I-485 and other relevant forms. Total time in my case was: 14 months.
