Interfiling or New 485?

Hi,
I have an EB3 (May 2004) application currently pending with USCIS(TSC). My husband has become US Citizen a few months back.
I was wondering if :
1) I should file a brand new family-based greencard application(I-130/I-485 etc).
Or
2) Would it be just ok to file I-130 and once it is approved upgrade the pending employment based 485 with the approved I-130.

My attorney says its ok to just get the I-130 approved and tie it to the pending EB 485. But the forums and peoples experiences say otherwise. I'm just confused.

Any advice is appreciated from people who have gone thru this process.

Regards :)
Nidhi
