I'm currently waiting for my EAD, my forms have just started processing and the current wait time is 5-7 months 😓

 

I'm currently on my TN Visa, and am working for an American company. I would like to switch companies to a higher paying job, and was wondering if I would be able to get the EAD expedited? I am using my personal income as part of the petition. Also, is it possible to work freelance?
