H4 EAD processing time

Hello.!
My spouse needs to report to a new job earliest in Jan. 2019.
How much time does it take to apply for H4 EAD?

to heidi.lawrence282:

I just checked the USCIS website. The processing time is about 1.5 months -5 months, but it can be slightly different between service centers.

to Roy:

Is there an expedite option? This is too long for us...
