Estimated time for EAD/GC approval - EB1

[Pamy]

My husband's 7 year term (he was in H1B and now statua changed to L1A)  would come to an end by Oct end. His employer has filed for GC in EB1 category in March. We received receipt number and have appointment for Biometrics this week. 

Generally, how long would it take to get our EAD? I understand that once we get our I-140 approved and get our EAD we can continue to stay/work here. Is my understanding correct? Would all this happen before October?

Thanks!!

Once your AOS is on file you can stay. Once the EAD arrives in a few months you can both work based on that till the Actual card arrives. You can travel on AP till the GC arrives. It is possible the card may predate the EAD/AP making them redundant.
