Interim EAD card?

[satu]

I am planning to apply for Green Card. When Can I apply for interim EAD card?
I am currently on H1B visa. In how much time do I get interim EAD card and after that what happens to my H1b Visa status once I get interim EAD card. Can I work on interim EAD card instead of H1b Visa.
Can anyone please give me information about this?
Thanks for all responses

Once you apply for your I-485, you can apply for EAD. It generally takes 90 days for them to process these. It is generally advised to work with your H1B unless you have to use EAD. Reason being is if your I-485 application is denied your EAD is cancelled and you will no longer have work authorization. If you keep your H1B, you will have this to continue to work and be in status.
