Probably last update from me, got my EAD yesterday. Posted in the other thread too.
I was approved on 9/9, and I-765 went back to being processed and all that. Received actual card 9/22.
Interestingly, my card is backdated from 9/9/2016 to 9/8/2018, so technically I've never had a lapse in EAD, but as we all know that doesn't help at all for payroll since they need to see the card.
