FP Availability on EAD Card

On EAD card, there is a space where it says whether FP is available or not. Is it related to the FP for I-485?

I just want to know what it says for guys whose EADs were applied/renewed at the time when their FP was already done. Normally, if the 1st EAD was applied with I-485, it may not have FP available when it was approved. However, the subsequent (2nd, 3rd etc) EADs approval will be at a atime when FP was done. Do these renewed EADs show FP available.

In my case (both for me and my wife), the renewed EADs do not show FP available. They say FP is not available.

As my online status never changed from day 1, I was in dark. But, now after creating my portfolio, I see that the Last Updated date shows 02/14/2002. Our FP was done on 08/16/2002. Thus, in their system, they do not have our FP info. That may be the reason why our EADs show FP not available.

I also feel that may be the reason why we are not getting our 2nd FP notice. Because, their system will not show expiry of 1st FP.

Can you guys share your experience with your EAD cards' FP availability.

My details follow:

ND: 06/25/2002
1st FP: 08/16/02

1st EAD:02/04/03
2nd EAD: 10/06/03

Last Updated Date on USCIS site: 08/14/02

More interesting observation

I had the following interesting observation.

The EAD appliactions for me and my wife are different and are as follows.

My EADs:
1st: 02/04/03
2nd: 10/06/03

Wife's:
1st: 07/30/02
2nd:06/28/03

Applied her 3rd EAD last month. Today, I see it has been approved on 04/16/04. Have not received the EAD card. Once, I get her card, I can check to see if her FP availability shows up or not.

In the mean time, her status update now says, "On Jul 09, 03. FP was recieved. Case processing will continue.". Also, in her portfolio, the update date shows 04/19/04.

My status update is still same from day 1. My update is still the old 08/14/02.

Thus, I find that her 3rd EAD renewal triggered her status update with the FP message. As I do not have any change at this time, my status is unchanged.
