2. Can I apply for EAD if i go CP route. If yes when should I apply for these.

2. Can I apply for Advance parole if i go CP route. If yes when should I apply for these.

{CP meaning consular process is one of the routes for
getting your Green Card. The other route is AOS (Adjudication
of Status) or 485 process.

At this point you can if you want apply for I-140 approval and
485 at the same time. This is called concurrent process.

On the other hand if your choice is to go the CP route, then
you need to wait till your I-140 is approved.}

2. Can I apply for EAD if i go CP route. If yes when should I apply for these.

{No, you cannot!. EAD is issued only during the 485 process}

2. Can I apply for Advance parole if i go CP route. If yes when should I apply for these.

{No, you cannot! Advance parole is a travel document which
is given out during 485 process, only if the applicant wants
to travel while the process is going on and applies for it}
