Analyzing EAD renewal status messages:
I applied for EAD/AP renewal in October and got a couple of updates recently. I am no longer on H1, so I am waiting eagerly as the current validity counts down to 0

. I am trying to analyze the difference between the 2 messages, to decide if I should raise an SR or something to expedite. I got the approval notice for my AP by mail last week.
