EAD approved while I-140 pending

I filed I-485/EAD/AP 2 months after filing I-140 (PD is current). Online status says "Initial Review" for all petitions. However, yesterday I received EAD/AP card exactly 3 months after filing for them.

Is it possible that EAD/AP gets approved while I-140 is pending? Or is it that I-140 has also gotten approved and the attorney has to yet receive approval NOA?

If I-140 is not approved, can I still use EAD?

Thanks

it is a separate process. You receive EAD card within 90 days of submitting the form. I know the cases when I 140 got denied after few months eventhough people had EAD cards approved till next year.

BTW I have the same situation. I got EAD card about a month ago but my I 140 still under initial review.
