I shall wait too... Patience is definitely not my forte! lol I really hope so get an approval soon since i'm on 130 days.... fingers crossed!

my thoughts for you is to raise SR, contact congressman or even ombudsman while you wait. My case was approved after 113 days. You got nothing to lose by doing all that is necessary to speed up the case, unless you are not in  a hurry to receive your EAD/AP card.

Have you received your card yet?  How long after the approval email before you got it?  Thanks!

Yes, I received my card on 04/06/2018. That's about 3 days after the approval or 5 days after receiving the message that we're producing your card.

This is to give hope to some of you on this platform:

My timeline:

c(9) AOS NBC 

12/07/2017 - package sent to Chicago Lockbox 

 12/8/2017 - PD

12/12/2017- NOA1 (receipts for I-130, i-485, i-765, i-131)

 01/02/2018: biometrics done

02/28/2018 _First SR online : No response 

03/12/2018: contacted congressman

03/13/2018: contacted ombudsman

03/23/2018: second SR -called customer service for the SR

04/01/2018: online account says: we are producing your card and we will mail it to you (EAD/AP): 

04/01/2018: Congressman office confirmed they are producing my card

04/03/2018: We approved your case.

Time to get approval online: 114 days 

My advice: I think contacting congress man could speed up your case. I have been reading comments on this platform almost everyday and I think it is just fair to give my timeline out so as to give someone some hope. I think cases with MSC numbers usually take longer time than other ones (EAC, YSC etc) probably due to the volume of cases in that  center. Have a blessed day!
