You need EAD - The fee you pay when you file for AOS includes EAD (and AP) if you chose to complete the forms. That'll take somewhere around 90 days (for EAD card).

Yes, but it's only given at JFK and only good for 90 days.

When immediate ability to work is the priority, marriage first and a CR1 visa is the proper course.

There is - if your POE is JFK (the only POE that routinely issues temp-ead). It's good for 90 days (same as your I-94). In reality - few employers will hire an individual with a temp-ead though - legally they can, but a majority simply will not. Just the way it is.

It's not the sole POE to give out the temp EAD, but the POE giving it out with the most regularity. Big difference.
