Not too sure - but check the January Filers blog - first 2 or 3 messages, there is two that waited about 5-6 weeks from the Biometrics date. But i've heard of others waiting longer.

Hi there...I received approval 6 weeks from the date of my biometrics too - even with an RFE.

Most folks who filed in January 2014, received their EAD/AP approval around the 70 day mark from their NOA 1.

Additionally, receiving the EAD/AP card is taking around 10 days after the actual approval.
