OPT EAD & I-485 Filing

Hi,

Can you file for I-485 while you are on OPT EAD? One of my friends does not have H1 yet, but is working on OPT EAD (F1 Student). His company applied for Green Card for him and got I-140 cleared. He still does not have a H1B, which they have applied but no ones know if he would get it. Given this new development with approval of I-140, can he apply for I-485? OR does he have to get a H1B first and then apply for I-485? If he can apply for I-485 then what does he indicate in the immigrant number field?

Thanks for answering.
