I-131 travel permit

My VAWA was approved 1 year and 1 month ago. I sent the medicals after imigration requested them and so far nothing had changed. I decided in February to apply for the travel permit for the first time and today I got the letter saying that the fees were waived. When should I expect the travel permit? any idea?

Should I expect both AP and Work Authorization in the same card?

Hi Everyone, 82 Days ago Fees were waived and today I received a notification that I765 new card is being produced but nothing changed in I-131. New card means; will I get both travel and work authorization or if anyone had a similar process please let me know. Thanks!
