Longer than usual processing times for AP/EAD

[Gumastha]

Friends:

 

My AP/EAD application has a receipt date October 1, 2014. It is almost 4-months, much longer than the wait times I have had previously or the 3-months processing time listed in the website. It does not let me submit a Case Status Inquiry saying the applications are within processing times.

 

Any hints on why the processing times are longer than they have so far been? (I hope they don't bring in premium processing for these too and have us shell out big bucks) Can you suggest if I have any other options to follow-up.

 

Thanks for your time,

S K.

They release the data on the application they are working on by receipt date.check the data before getting too worried.
