My AP RD was 12/4/02. No RFE or decision. I filed for an EAD the same time and that was just approved one week ago after almost 6 months! No EAD for that peition either. Interstingly, my EAD validity dates were from January 2003 to January 2004 even though the card was issude towards the end of May! Now, I'll have to apply for the renewal next month!
