I do not know were did they pull this info from, but just yesterday I've got my EAD card in the mailbox, and my I-140 is far away from being approved. My I-140 & I-485 were concurrently filed in the VSC, I-140 - in Jan 2003, AOS / EAD / AP - in March 2003. EAD was approved April 29.
Even if this news is true, maybe BCIS has not started to enforce it, till the beginning this month at least. So, hold on guys, there is still hope!
