Find your congressman. Go to his site and find casework help.

I was in a similar situation. I had taken a INFOPASS appointment. When I went to the USCIS office, they said they will send a request to the Processing Center. One week later I called the USCIS phoneline, and was told that they will be sending an expedited request to process my case as it was more than 120 days of filing. In two weeks, I got my EAD.
Carry all copies of EAD application receipts. If you have done Finger prints or Biometerics for EAD , carry that, YOur passport . thery can ask for anything.
All carry Receipts of your I485 also.
Your State Photo id like a Driver Lic.
A magazine or a book beacuse you might have to wait

My EAD took near 6 months to be issued! I had 5 infopass appointments and 10 calls to the 800number! they just said we are doing background check! It was finally approved after 6 months and after my company paid $5k for an expedited H1B application to bring me back to work!!!!
IO advised to bring a job offer letter
It is about 118 days since my wife applied for EAD. We went to infopass yesterday. The immigration officer advised that EAD has been pending due to background check, and that she should bring a job offer letter stating that she will not be allowed to work until she has employment authorization. Then they can request expedited processing of the EAD.
I believe there is an statute specifying that USCIS will issue EAD no later than 120 days. Don't remember where I read it.
Mahek,
Can you give your update about your infopass if the Immigration Officer put in the expedite processing request for your EAD?

Mahek: I am currently on H1b but applied for Green Card (and EAD and AP) through my wife on December 5th 2007. There were LUDs on my 765 and 131 on Januarty 8th, 2008, but nothing after that. No activity, no approval, even though it's a bit more than 90 days. Everybody else with my timeline had been getting their EAD and AP in a matter of weeks, so I am myself quite worried about that. Not sure if it's an anomoloy, or it's standard for everybody who has to go through background checks. Until now i didnt believe that EAD and AP had to wait for background checks, but maybe they have to?

Reposting my question with correction.
It is about 88 days since my wife applied for EAD. We went to infopass yesterday. The immigration officer advised that EAD has been pending due to background check, and that she should bring a job offer letter stating that she will not be allowed to work until she has employment authorization. Then they can request expedited processing of the EAD.
I believe there is an statute specifying that USCIS will issue EAD no later than 90 days. Don't remember where I read it.

Update on interim EAD issuance

Found the relevant statute
8 CFR 274a.13(d)
USCIS is required to adjudicate a pending Form I-765 within 90 days from the date of receipt. Failure to complete the adjudication within this time frame requires the Service to grant an EAD for a period not to exceed 240 dyas.
