M2002,
Actually In my case(SPouse EAD. I did not apply for EAD yet) :-
After the message of " application recd" , we saw the msg
"This case has been approved. On 12/06/02, an approval notice was mailed.......". which was on web after 6th dec
But when I called INS on 3rd dec they said the card was approved on 3rd dec and mailed.
Between 3rd dec and 6th dec the web message remained "application recd on ....."
I never saw the msg "approved and ordered a plastic card" in our case.
PS: There was screw up with webstatus not being uptodate etc during that period of time. That cud be the reason I did not see the msg which u are seeing now
Hope this helps!!!!
