Based on the VSC processing times,
I don\'t think it means EAD for category 9 has stopped at 3/28 but most cases upto 3/28 have been processed.
Sidr, since you are EB2 (C 9) and ND of 4/4, you should be approved before the end of next week max. I think Rames\'s EAD will be approved before the end of this week.
As for EAD approval, folks with ND 8 and 9 April are mostly EB3 (include gcvg 4/17 ND) and thereby Category C8 and hence approved as per the same processing times. For ND 4/10, they just lucked out or maybe they are in C8 (Check EAD receipts).
At the same time all of us who have filed for AP should have been approved as per the info on the link. My guess is most APs would also be approved before the end of next week (maybe already approved but AVM not updated and also the new scanned papers may take longer to produce). If not, wait 3 more weeks to complete 60 days and we can get it from the local INS.
I do think the approvals make perfect sense as per the processing times.
And for the no FP notice for ND 8/9/10 April folks, my guess is that it has been assigned to officers who scrutinize the docs before they send for FP. Some officers send for FP right away while they scrutinize but we probably are with some conservative officers. It does not matter if the FP is done 2 months or 4 months after the 485 is filed as long as it gets done.
The only thing of note is 765 is at 7/1/01 (from 4/1/02 to 5/10/02). But, there is a trickle of 8/01 approved cases on this forum.
