Hey guys. Just checked this morning and i'm approved! yayy Must've been late last night as case tracker began production of EAD 10/12. Here is my timeline:

Received: 5/11
Biometrics: 5/31
Expired: 9/23
Approved: 10/12

I waited 154 days for approval. Now to wait for EAD. Thanks every for your support and recommendations. Definitely knowing i wasn't the only one with this problem helped being optimistic. THANKS
