Last Minute Employment Based GC Filing while on TPS

Hi guys so I have a question about my scenario that is kind of complex. Any advice will be kind.

So my employer agreed to sponsor my GC. But they are worried about the timeline, no surprise there. Fortunate that my manager is fine even if there is a gap of about 3 months. TPS ends in June 2019 and it might take 3 more months for the EAD. This is a rough estimate provided by HR.

My questions:

1) Provided app is filed on October 15(there is a lot of red tape in bigger companies & hence that delay), is PERM filing possible by Jan 15 or somewhere close

2) If PERM is approved before Jun 24, and if I file I-140, I-485 and EAD concurrently, I can stay in the US haina..? Although I still have to wait for EAD to resume work, correct…

3) If PERM takes longer than Jun 24, what are the consequences. Can I apply I-140, I-485 and EAD outside of US


If you have similar experience, please share. Thanks again.
