Since it's a combo card they won't send you the AP by itself, just a NOA2. Wait a few days and also your EAD will say it's approved. If not, call USCIS. 

I hope so. Waiting patiently 😀

Hey guys I'm an early feb filer and I just had my aos interview and it was approved! Here is my review Had my aos interview yesterday. Arrived at about 2 and interview was at 2.15 we went in just before 3. The officer confirmed some information like name dob,parents names and address. He asked us how we met he then asked for Photos, he took a few photos, we offered to show some flight itineraries which he took. he asked if we had joint financial documents and we gave him joint lease, car insurance, bank accounts, and phone bill and said "you look like a real couple to me, give me a bit to make copies" we were in and out within 5 minutes we waited for about 15 mins and he came out and said you've been approved! Very easy and relaxed. However I will say some couples went in before us and were in there for over 30 minutes so every situation is different.

I just noticed a status update finally! All three case numbers have been unchanged since they received the applications on Feb 15. The EAD case finally changed to "New card is being produced" on April 22. The other two remain unchanged. He had biometrics on March 27.

 

Does he get the combo card automatically? Nothing has changed when I check status of advanced parole.

Yes they come together as long as you applied for AP. No date change for AP for us either and card recently came that includes AP.

Thank you! So excited to see it moving. Now I guess I just wait now to see if an interview is scheduled!

Just got an update on my EAD.

 

New Card Is Being Produced

On April 24, 2017, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number xxx, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

This afternoon I received my NOA2 for approval of my EAD in the mail after I expedited it and the letter stated that I will be receiving a combo card, my online status for my AP has not changed from "case was received." I also received a separate NOA2 just for the AP, which included instructions on how to use it. 

 

And I received notification about an hour ago that my status from my card was updated to "mailed," so I will likely receive it this week!

 

Hope everyone else's cases for EAD/AP move forward quickly!

My file date is February 14.

 

I submitted a request to expedite based on a job offer on April 6, I received a letter requesting evidence April 12 and responded to it on April 13. My request to expedite was approved and my status changed to "new card being produced" on April 19.

Reassuring to see more people get their EAD and AP approved. Our NOA1 date is Feb 7 and we are still waiting. Wife is hoping to fly out on May 17 so we keep crossing our fingers!

That's good news about the interview. Mind sharing what your local USCIS office is? You didn't fill out your timeline.

I was just working on doing that now! Hartford, CT -- they seem VERY backlogged now though :/
