it plays the same old message as of today. May be they stopped processing ead\'s for a while. if u really need it, then u can go to local ins office and get it.
i applied for ead by myself(without lawyer) on Jan 2nd. But the one with wac-02-040 was applied thru lawyer, and that is for spouse. spouse already got IEAD, so not worried about the original ead to approve, and my h1 is still valid, so i am not waiting for the ead which i applied by myself.
hope i didn\'t confuse you.
getting IEAD is very easy, just bring EAD receipt and get IEAD. it is as good as EAD.
