Hi, no, the online status for i131 has not changed since i765 got approved. However, when I received the EAD card it became clear that my AP was also approved.

Yesterday my status changed to the same as yours: "as of March 9, 2018, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number ***, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice"
I haven't received any notice in the mail yet. I hope that it will come soon for both of US. Good Luck!

Hi,

Thank you.

The interview took around 30 minutes. The officer was friendly and asked for official ID, passport, EAD card, visa and any originals of the documents submitted with the application. I submitted my original birth certificate which she checked against the official translation and verified my DOB. Additionally, she also asked for an employment verification letter.

During the interview, she asked questions about data of entry and exit, purpose of travels abroad, family member visits in US, education, and work. Once she finished questions about work then she asked for employment verification letter. At the end of the interview, she asked some of the yes/no questions in 485 application. Finally, she said she recommends my application for approval.

Questions about entry and exit was a new point I learned today because I have many and need to prepare on how to answer them.
Thank you for the detailed information. We appreciate it.
