Can one have two I485 applications processing?

[nznu]

Hi, I have a pending I485 application for employment based green card, with I131/I765 and I140 approved. My husband also has a pending I485 through his employer, however, there is a significant risk that his employer will lay him off in the next couple of months before his I485 i adjudicated. We only recently got married (after our cases were first filed). Due to the risk of being laid off, we are now going to add him to my adjustment of status application, however, we are getting conflicting advice about whether his existing I485 application through his employer needs to be cancelled first. His employer's lawyer is saying it does need to be cancelled before he gets added to my application, and my employer's lawyers are saying nothing needs to be done as long as we advise USCIS of the other application using he A number assigned to my husband. Can you please help clarify?

I think your employer is right.

nznu this is correct "my employer's lawyers are saying nothing needs to be done as long as we advise USCIS of the other application using he A number assigned to my husband. Can you please help clarify?". once submitted and acknowledged his old application will be voided.

Also post this on I140 forum to get more attention.
