Yes, you can file H-1 extension if your I-140 is approved but you cannot file I-485 due to the priority issue.

You must extend your H-1B in order to maintain your status if your priority date is not current since you cannot yet?apply for adjustment of status. Only a pending adjustment application could be the basis for an EAD.

You cannot apply for the EAD because for that you need to have a pending I-485 and you cannot file that if the priority date is not current. Depending on whether you are eligible for the extension of your H-1B or not, you may be able to file for the extension. You need to provide more information about that eligibility.

I would need more information regarding your I-140 and the stage in processing. If you are working for the I-140 sponsor on your H-1B visa, you should speak with the attorney handling the I-140, if any. If not, you should consult an expeirneced immigration attorney in person to determine what can be done.
