EAD and AP..been more than three months

[tired]

Hi.
Didnt know that EAD. AP and I-485 each had its own receipt number. I just got the EAD and AP numbers from USCIS when I called them over phone.
When I checked the processing dates, it shows that it takes 3 months for EAD and AP. Mine have been pending for more than three months now. Should I be worried?
Does EAD and AP approval depend upon approval of I-485?
Thank you all as always.

Hello,

I don't think you should be worried. I applied for my EAD in October 2008, had biometrics in November 2008, and this month I received notification that my card is being processed. Did you take your fingerprints yet? Normally the EAD is issued about 2-3 months after fingerprinting.

Thanks for the update. I had my biometrics done on 25th of November. I have had some terrible luck with all this immigration business (backlog center lost my file and informed me about it only after three years). hence I am being a little over-cautious.

Sorry to hear about the past problems. I just received my card today, so it's been exactly 2 months since the fingerprints. I had my fingerprints on November 20th, so hopefully that means yours is coming very soon!

congratulations! Please keep me posted about your progress if you dont mind.
Was your category EB-2 or EB-3?

I received my AP renewal on Feb. 10, 2009. I had filed renewal electronically on Oct. 20, 2008 at the NSC.
