Take ur postal receipt and apply for an EAD and AP in person. Tell them that you have to leave the country for emergency reasons. If u take an AP since u don\'t have the receipt, you have to take EAD so u can work again (that\'s what u tell them)
Regarding status you are ok. 485 filer has a pending status.
Now regarding ur case, just get a job with your EAD and continue working. They will ask pay stubs after 5-6 months (when they get to ur case). Then you can provide them from your new employer and a letter from your old employer that they would be willing to offer u a job in the near future provided things changed.
You should be ok. Don\'t worry a whole let. Just get some things that u need to get ASAP (EAD).
