Hello there, my wife and I each got 140 approved almost at the same time. Now can we file 485 separately with the other as dependent in each petition? We want to do so to be more secure, but we are not sure whether this is appropriate. Thanks for any suggestions and help!

Can we file two 485 separately?

Why?
You can only file 1 I-485. Why spend all that money doing it twice? If something happens, you amend her I-485 to be based upon her I-140, instead of being married to you, and amend your I-485 to be a dependent of hers. Much cheaper.
Or just file based on each of your I-140s; no dependent status.

It\'s allowed, I believe
My colleague asked INS and was told it\'s OK to file two 485s with mutual dependency, as long as both are not work for the same company. But I think stick with one is better. Why causing confuse to INS? You may trigger RFE if INS wants some clarification. They can easily find it out since you can only have one A number, no matter how many applicaton you filed.

why not?
You can file family-based 485 and employment-based 485 separately. So INS allows multiple applications for AOS. As a follow-up of my previous message, my colleague applied his 485 with his wife as dependent, while his wife filed her 485 with him as dependent. Everything went fine. He got receipt/FP, etc. His wife got approved earlier, so he got his passport stamped also, without any problem. His own application was terminated automatically.
Although I don\'t suggest people doing that way, I don\'t think we should rule out such option either. Double-check with INS if people really want to pursuit. Don\'t take my word blindly.
