it has nothing to do with banned countries. it’s always like that. I think they believe your wife’s situation to work immediately is urgent.

Yes unfortunatly this is normal and based on the timeline provided you are still within the normal procesisng time for your case type. If you have not received your EAD by the 8th month mark you may want to make sure your address is current with USCIS to ensure you do not miss any email communications.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
