EAD Renewal can i apply before 6 months??.

[mansai]

My EAD is expiring in August 2004 and i might go to india in summer ( june/july).

So i am wondering if i can apply for my EAD renewal now.
Do they consider my application for renewal so early or is there any requirements based on time, like only 180 days etc for renewal process.

Also, is it possible for one to travel when EAD application is pending with BCIS. I heard that one should not travel when AP is pending, is it appliest to EAD too. please clarify...

thanks
mansai
