Update on my I-130/I-485 case:
Got my EAD over the weekend. Interestingly, it's valid for 5 years now that USCIS has extended the validity period for EADs under certain categories.
Today, I got an email from the USCIS system that a decision has been made in my case. I checked and it looks like it updated to them actively reviewing my I-130 as of today. Hoping for a decision soon! *fingers crossed*
