Interfile I-485 : EB->FB possible?

[non-immig-alien]

Is it possible to convert or interfile an existing EB based I-485 application to FB based I-485?

I have pending I-485 through an approved I-140 (EB). PD is not current. I recently got married and my spouse is a US Citizen. We are considering pursueing FB application. Reading through the forums I gather that my spouse has to file I-130 and I file for I-485. My question is regarding I-485.

If I have to file for a new I-485, what happens to the existing one? Do I have to get new medical exam? Can I use existing AP, EAD or can I use EAD/AP that I currently have from my EB based application?

If an interfiling is possible, when should this be done - concurrently along with I-130 filing or we have to wait till I-130 is approved? Also what is the procedure for "interfiling"? I was not able to find any forms or any instructions/samples.

I don't think it is possible to interfile as EB and FB are two separate route to GC. So you will have to submit another packet of I-130 & I-485. You may submit I131 and I-765 only if you wish as your current EAD and AP could still be used. If I were you I would resubmit everything as you will not pay extra for EAD and AP.
