140 approved; EAD when?

[cog]

Hi, I have got my I-140 approved in NIW category. 1) Does it make me eligible to file for EAD or 2) do I have to wait until my priority date becomes current and file along with I-485.

I am asking this because my H1-B is expiring soon and priority date for EB2 category were moved back to June 15, 2002. Please forgive my ignorance as I do not know if approval of I-140 makes someone eligible for applying for EAD or not.

Thanks in advance,
CoG

------------------when PD for you becomes current you can file for EAD AP with your I-485. EAD AP are based on pending I-485
