    Read "Eligibility" criteria here:
    H4 EAD - H4 Visa EAD - EAD for H4 visa holders

    Don't know about the rule now , but years ago one would get EAD after the I-140 is approved and the I-485 application is submitted. You can meanwhile work on getting your teaching credentials , so by the time the EAD is approved you are ready to work.
    Best wishes !

    Now, it says I 140 IS NEEDED. . IT MIGHT TAKE AROUND 1 YEAR for us to get I 140. yes I will use this time to improve teaching skills in USA.

    Yes. For the long-suffering H1b spouse, there is a special dispensation -- s/he can get EAD if the I-140 had been applied for, but those on the first-six years of H1b, will have to wait for that approved I140.
    Like they say, some of these documents take longer than an elephant's gestation period. :confounded:
