i130 approved 20 days ago but i485 still being actively reviewing… that’s normal? 😱🤷🏻

I-130 & I-485 (Family/Adjustment of status)

Hi guys, about 20 days ago, we had our interview, and it went really well. The interviewer even mentioned that our case was likely to be approved, and indeed, the next day, our I-130 petition was approved. However, the I-485 still shows the same status, being actively reviewed by USCIS. I don’t know if this is normal with the current government or what’s going on. Has anyone had experience with this kind of timeline? I come from an asylum process that is still pending, and that case has been in the works for over a year with no changes, even though the work permit card was sent out. I’m not from one of the 19 countries banned, and I don’t have any criminal record, tickets, or anything like that. I entered the country with a B1/B2 visa, and after a few months, I filed my asylum petition. I’m a little anxious because time is passing, and the I-485 status hasn’t changed… 😬
