I've been following this thread for a while so I figured I should share an update. I filed my TPS application on December 21, 2015 along with the TPS EAD. My application was processed in Nebraska. Soon after I got a biometric appointment on the 25th of January, 2016. Ever since, I have been waiting to get anything back from them. Because my OPT expires soon, and would not be able to work, I was hoping to at least get the EAD part. I had heard many cases where people's TPS was pending but they at the very least had an EAD and could continue working.

I scheduled an infopass appointment and also sent an inquiry to the USCIS to see if I would hear anything back. On May 17th, I randomly checked the USCIS website and saw that the EAD part of the application had an update, and said that my card was being produced. The following day, I looked at the TPS application status, and saw that it had been approved as well.

Good luck with all of your applications!
