Multiple 485s

[ap67]

Last year, I filed for 485 in Northern California through my wife (she is a citizen) and my employer. Subsequently, I received EAD\'s from both the applications. Now, I\'ve received a Finger Printing notice for the application through my employer. Here are my questions:

1. How long can I continue to pursue my GC through both the sources?

2. If I\'ve to give up one of the two applications, which one would you recommend leaving?

3. Does anyone have an idea of how long it would take to complete the GC process for the application through my wife.

Thanks in advance for the help. Regards

ap

my 2 cents

My understanding is that you can keep both until one get approved. They will be kept as separate application since they are of different catagories. Generally employment-based application is faster at this time, but that\'s my own impression.

Check with an attorney if you are not sure, because most of the people on this forum are employment-based applicants (family-based applications don\'t need to be processed by service center).
