I also got my AP approved on Jun 26th, my FP is scheduled for Jul 11, so they dont need FP for AP approval. FP only needed for EAD and AOS.
Please see updates in my signature.
They need fingerprints to approve EAD? Didn't know that. So no point in hoping that i will get EAD approval before August. My wife got an OPT EAD in June 03 and she did not have fingerprints done. Have they changed the rule recently?
