You can file for EAD at the same time as AOS. It looks like EADs are generally taking 2 - 3 months.

Check out the AOS guide on this site. You basically need to file the I-485 application to adjust status. You also need to include the I-864 affidavit of support. You can also file for employment authorization along with your AOS application using the I-765 form.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that you could get a temporary work visa upon landing in the US on an approved K1 if you come in through JFK. Obviously you would still have to go through AOS but if you are looking to start working right away, and if I'm correct about a temp. work visa at JFK, this may provide a possible solution.
