My Wife's EAD Status Changed to "New Card is Being Produced"

[Rickyboy06]

So our Receipt Notice for me, my wife, and 2 kids are dated Feb 5, 2018. Today, April 10, my wife's Case Status for EAD was updated to "New Card is Being Produced".

My question is, why didn't I get the same update when I'm the principal applicant and my wife is just the dependent? My kids didn't get the same update as well. It's not that I'm jealous or anything like that, I'm just wondering why...
Also, since this is a combo with AP I am expecting her case status on the AP I-131 should've been updated as well but AP wasn't updated.

Does this mean that all of us are approved but USCIS just updated one of the cases for the whole family? I guess I'm gonna have to wait for the EAD card to arrive if all of us are there.

But just asking the folks here if someone had this experience before please share what's your experiences.
I would appreciate the responses!

When I cslled USCIS about my EAD they asked if i was the applicant, beneficiary or something else. I said I wasnt sure as it kept changing depending on why I was calling. She advised that although my husband was petitioning me for the I130, the EAD was my application based on my adjustment application. So I expect that's why your wife was notified and not you. My husband hasnt been notified of anything except that they received his I130 petition.

Thanks for the feedback. So in your case, who got the approval first?

I will be the only one thst gets approval as I am the only one applying for an EAD. My husband is an American citizen and does not require one.

OK, then you have a different scenario. For us, me and my family are all applying for EAD but I am the principal applicant and they are all my dependents. But instead of me getting the update first or all of us getting an update at the same time, it's only her case status that got updated. That's why I'm thinking we will all be receiving the card but just the system didn't get updated.

Thats pretty quick! My husband filed for EAD February 1. Still nothing. Our application for Adjustment of Status has been ready for an interview since September 17, 2017.

Yes, it's fast compared to what I've seen so far on the threads and the tracker tab on this website. Usually I've seen more than 90 days and mostly had to send SR or contact ombudsman, congress, etc. But it's just so unclear if we're all approved since my wife was the only one that got the status update.

My wife's EAD and AP status is now "Case approved".

But still have no update on my case which is odd since I'm the principal applicant and my wife is my dependent.
No updates for my kid's status as well.

Is this really possible that only my wife got approved of EAD and AP at this time?

The whole family status now changed to "New Card is Being Produced"

Yay, after 67 days from Receipt Date. Me and my 2 kids status changed to card production. My wife got her update 3 days ago.

So now we are waiting for the EAD and AP combo cards to be mailed.

Thank you for everyone in this community. I gathered a lot on information here and ideas.

Now we will also wait for the I-140 and I-485 applications.

Timeline:
2/2/18: Submitted EAD, AP, I-140, and I-485.
2/5/18: USCIS Receipt date.
2/16: Receipt Notice received.
4/13: Card in production.
