There are several different cases here.

When you say the case status is "Card/Document Production" which case are you referring to that has this status? Are you referring to the I-485--the underlying application for adjustment of status? Are you referring to the I-765--the application for employment authorization? Are you referring to the I-131--the application for advance parole?

If you actually have the EAD--by this I mean you are physically holding the actual EAD card as opposed to just seeing some encouraging message online or in email--then you can change jobs.

If you have your advance parole document you can leave the country. Or you can leave the country if you have an existing status (like L-1 or H-1B) that is dual intent and still valid.

If the status is "Card/Document Production" for the I-485 case itself then you might indeed be close to a successful end of the road. Is it believable that you could be? Is your I-140 approved? Are your biometrics done? Is the timeline believable based on current processing times?
