Advice on filing I-140

[sam555]

Below is my situation...

Both my husband and I are working on EAD.

My husband's GC is in process. His labor and I-140 have been cleared. His lawyer has filed I-485 for both of us (adding me as his dependent).

Now the company that I work for is also doing my GC process. My labor was cleared last week. My company is going ahead to file my I-140. Is this ok? Will this affect the GC process that my husband is doing?

Is there an advantage of filing my I-140? If some problem comes up and I-485 is denied for my husband/me can we file another I-485 based on my job and continue working on EAD?

Thanks

For Safety sake file your I-140. But remember you can't simultaneously file two I485's. Keep the filing of your I-485 as an option in case your husband's goes haywire for some reason

You should definitely file your I-140 and opt for consular processing. It's much faster than I-485. if your PD is current, it'll save you about 2 years and both of you can get GC on it. your first I-485 can go on its usual snail's pace.
