EAD and Advance Parole renewal

Hi community, I’d like to share my timeline regarding my EAD and Advance Parole renewal. I filed for both the EAD (Form I-765) and Advance Parole (Form I-131) in July 2024. My Advance Parole was approved in April 2025, but the status of my EAD (Form I-765) still shows: “Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken.” My employer is requesting documentation to confirm the 540-day automatic extension, but I haven’t received any official letter regarding this. I’m really concerned because I don’t want to lose my job. Has anyone experienced this, or can anyone advise me on what steps I should take? Thank you in advance!
