How to answer visa situation in job interview?

I'm H4 holder, have an approved I-140, I-485 is filed and received in September; also have H4 EAD applied this month. I'm now interviewing with faang companies, I wonder if I should ever mention visa situation with hiring manager? If recruiter asks, I usually answer "I'm expecting to receive my EAD/work permit by xyz date. But if you need me sooner than that, we can apply H1 and get the result within 15 calendar days if taking the premium process." But I only say that when I talk to someone has idea about what's going on. Any better suggestion of telling the situation without making me sounds like a trouble?

Most of the recruiters at FANG and other companies in bay area are familiar with all of the Visa situations and they will ask you about it during the initial phone conversation I think

Just be honest, factual - that’s it.
