I-485 with both EB1-OR and EB1-EA?

Can I apply the I-485 with both the EA and OR application or am I allowed to apply only one? I know there is additional cost of a duplicate 485 application but is it allowed? If say the I-140 for OR gets approved (and EA is pending/denied) but I only applied the 485 for the EB1-EA petition, then do I request a transfer of the I-485 to the EB1-OR application?

Thank you.
 
File the I-485 for the EB1-OR petition. You can switch it later if necessary, but EB1-OR is much more likely to be approved so you want to bet your I-485 on that one.
 
Interlink request - myself or univ attorney file it?

If I file the I485 with the EB1-OR application (and not with the EB1-EA) and if the OR gets denied while EA gets approved (rare but possible), then does the university attorney file the interlink request or can I do it by myself? The reason I ask is because the univ attorney won't show me the cover letter for the I-140 application. Hence I don't know if he will share all information relating to my petition. In that case, I am not sure if I can rely on the univ attorney to file the interlink request to the approved EB1-EA petition.

If I file the I485 with the EB1-EA application, then I assume I can myself file the interlink to the EB1-OR I140 (if that is approved while EA is rejected). Ideally I would like to file two separate I485 but seems like it causes more problems than solve things.

Thanks all for any comments and help.
