I don't know if there is a way to expedite the EAD and AP. However, what you might want to do is check your bank and see if the checks you sent with your applications have been cashed. If you can see your cashed check online (or if you already have it returned to you with your bank statement), your receipt number (LINxxxxx) will be on the back. If it starts with LIN, it's in Nebraska, but if it's SRC, then it's in Texas. If your checks have not been cashed or you do not receive a notice within another week, you can try calling the national service center (1-800-375-5283)
