EAD Card Production When will I receive it ?

[vaibh4]

Dear all here is the timeline for my (& wife's) GC process

I-140 Receipt Date: Feb 16, 2012 under EB1 at TSC

I-140 Approved (Priority date): Feb 28, 2012

I-131, I-765 & I-485 Receipt Date: June 22, 2012 at TSC

Biometrics Appt: July 23, 2012

I-765 USCIS Case Status Updated to Card/ Document Production on July 27, 2012

I-131 USCIS Case Status Updated to Post Decision Activity on July 27, 2012

Now my questions are :

1) There is still one more case status update before EAD card is mailed to me, is this correct ? I could not see any status showing "card shipped/mailed" as a standard on USCIS website. One would expect that USCIS give a short description of all the case status updates used but seems like they don't care (why should they right ?) and are not consistent.

2) When should I expect the EAD card ?

3) Is there way I can track the shipment by calling USCIS and getting tracking number ?

4) When should I expect I-765 approval ? and final GC ?

5) I am planning to make a short international trip at the end of November, I do have valid visa stamp until March 2013. Are there any issues I should be aware of before I decide to go on this trip ?

Your replies will be appreciated !!!

4) When should I expect I-765 approval ? and final GC ?

Sorry I meant I-485 instead of I-765

I received another update today morning from USCIS for I-765 now the online status is changed to "Post Decision Activity". I wonder what is going on ? Why the status will change from Card Production to Post Decision Activity ?

Post decision activity is when CIS mails you a notice that the petition has been approved.

My lawyer received the EAD on Thursday, August 1st. Also received the email update from USCIS saying it was delivered to address on file.
