I received my H-1b visa and am going to move to US on Friday. I am also married to a US citizen and my I-130 and I-129f is pending. Since the condition on H-1b is that I can't change employers without informing USCIS. Is there be a possibility that I can apply for a EAD? Anyone gone through the same process?

When you apply for AOS you can also apply for an EAD. But if you want to travel outside the country you will also need to apply for an Advance Parole, since your H1 will no longer be any good once you use an EAD.
