This is quite interesting. I applied for my TPS and EAD both on the very last day of submission deadline and my mail delivered only after deadline. I didn't even bother to check my status as I thought I would be last one to get an approval, if i do at all. Luckily they accepted my application and proceeded with it. Then I got my Biometric done at around Dec 19. Surprisingly, I got both my EAD and TPS approved yesterday. I am surprised that there are folks whose TPS is still not approved. Strange !!
