Quick question. I moved to the USA with a K1 Visa and I have applied for Adjustment of Status and an EAD. It looks like I have a delay on the Adjustment of Status and they want more information, but I have had a job offer in between which I know that I cannot accept until I have the EAD. Are they processed separately? Will the EAD still follow the 90 days as suggested in the processing times?

EAD is processed independently from AOS, because it is a stop-gap measure for the time before you get your GC. The GC gives you the right to work by itself, rendering the EAD obsolete.

I hope you also applied for AP so you can travel in the meantime, since its free. The GC can take a year or more.

Brilliant... so come 90 days (ish), I would have my EAD and will be able to accept my job offer? That sounds brilliant. And then when I have my AOS, I would also be able to discuss my new income. :)

If you have a job offer you can try to expedite the EAD based on "loss of income."

After nearly 4 months of no pay... We are not travelling anywhere for a while.

Well all right, but a lot of people come here and complain when there is a tragedy in their family and they have no AP when they could have had it. Missed funerals, etc. AP is free. You don't have to use it.

It depends. Is it a request for initial evidence? If so, both processes will be halted until you've responded.

Oh, and you can accept the job - just not actually start working before you have your EAD.
