I got my H1B extension approved on Dec 11, 2002. My RD was 08/08/2002. Also I kept checking the online status and it still showed as pending but when I called the TSC number the message for my SRC said it was approved and I got a call from my attorney that he had received my H1B extension approval. So do not depend on the online case status update, call the TSC and check the autmated voice system, it seems that is more accurate than the online one. Good luck to you all.
