I e-filed for EAD/AP on 10/21. Recieved " New Card Orderd" e-mail 12/29. It has taken 70days to process (NSC). AP is still pending... may take 2-3 more weeks based on the current processing dates...
Since "Interim EAD" is gone, it may be advisible to apply for EAD atleast 4-5 months before expiration. Now it is taking about 3 months to process I-765 and keep 1-2 months buffer to take care of any surprise RFE.
