EAD/AP has nothing to do with I-130. EAD/AP are for I-485 applicants. As long as you file I-485 (and you were eligible to file), you will get EAD and AP.

well i filed i-130 in 2015 and then i filed AOS in October 2017 , it has been 160 days and i didn't receive my EAD or my AP , and i started wondering if my pending I-130 is delaying it , one USCIS officer brought that to my attention this morning.

Nope, pending I130 has got nothing to do with EAD/AP. It is related only to your I485. You can raise a service request or file for an expedite request for your EAD/AP.

Unfortunately, 160 days is not unusual for EAD/AP these days. You applied for EAD/AP with your AOS, right?

That's right, but yesterday they updated processing time page and they are working on cases from November 1st 2017 and i filed mine on October 04th 2017, which means my case is outside normal processing time !! should i be worried or just give it some more time ???

I applied for EAD/travel document combo on Nov3rd and expedited both last week but the online status only shows my EAD being mailed today. Does anyone know if they only send EAD wen you applied for the combo ?

I thought they were both on the same card? If you applied for the combo, it should have the AP information on it as well.
