US Immigration from Brazil

Up until recently, the dates at https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/ for the latest approved EAD and AP were moving very quickly. Since about a month ago, those dates are still exactly the same (June 7 and June 11, respectively). Consequently, my own EAD/AP expected approval date keeps moving back -- it was February, and now it's back to June.

What's going on here? Did USCIS stop processing newer EAD/AP requests? Or is this just a problem with how the site is reporting or calculating the most recent dates?

My husband is a citizen of Brazil but a US Permanent Resident. After he came here in 2014 but before he had his green card his mother passed away. His father is alone in Rio and having health and depression issues. We have been trying to renew his passport which expired. We had to send original documents, his old passport and a money order to the consulate in Chicago.USPS has lost the documents and were kinda in a panic.We have no way of getting another copy of his birth certificate or the old passport. They haven t got the documents in Chicago. The money order was never cashed. We are trying to have USPS search which involved filling out forms with them but so far nothing. He needs to just get there. He can get documents there if he can just get there and renew it before flying back since he plans to stay several months but we need to know if Brazil will even allow him entry. I contacted the airlines and they sent told me to contact TSA. TSA told me to contact US Department of State. They told me that they only deal with US Citizens abroad. Has anyone had to travel home? Can he enter his own country with any other form of ID or his green card and will he even be allowed to fly. Amazed that even the airline could nit answer this. It has to happen to other green card holders. Can anyone give me any leads. He needs to get back to his dad as soon as possible but we can t just spend thousands on airfare if we aren t sure he will be allowed entry into his home country.
