At another forum, someone mentioned you are still going to get your EAD while you wait.
I'm not 100% sure if i'm affected, or by how much. My PD was current on November, and filed everything in November also..
I know about the forum that you are talking about. I am not filing for EAD for some time. I hope that AOS applicants will be interviewed next year even though PD is not current as on of members who wrote in that forum wrote.
