** Father's EAD(I-765) and AP(I-131) never received till date**
Thanks. All theories failed here since I was expecting citizen08 and you will get approved before me, based on your FP dates and/or date when you applied. Also guess was based on timelines of ML. So what I am thinking is may be RFE helped. May be RFE response kind of kickstarted the stalled process? Another thing what I did was called USCIS on 10/24 and managed to get case opened since my mother got EAD/AP and my father didnt and his EAD was pending for for close to 90 days.

Thanks..they are in boston..I am planning to call the IO this week. Last time I went to INFOPASS, the lady told me that my mother's app was touched on 4th Nov. though there was no LUD. So I am hoping to hear soon else one more call or INFOPASS <sigh !>
