Yes
Yes, I scanned some EAD cases with RD 10/17/2003. A lot of cases have been approved in later Nov. or earlier Dec. I believe they are not c(9) cases. However, there are three new EAD approvals in Jan. 2004:
EAC0401250870
EAC0401250881
EAC0401250606
I believe they are c(9) cases. Therefore, please hang on, maybe your approval will be the next days.
