Multiple GC applications - your feed back

Hi guys you opinions please.

My sister who is a U.S. citizen filed an I-130 petition for me when I was in India and it was approved in 1996. The priority date for that catergory is 1991 right now.

In the mean time I came to U.S. on a H1B and filed for GC and am now in I-485 stage for 19 months and changed jobs using AC21 but did not inform employer as per lawyers advice.

Even though I know that 99.99 % I will get GC thru employment,
you never know. Since my Dad has since then become a U.S. citizen a couple of years ago, I wanted him to file an I-130 for me... you know keeping all options open. However my company lawyer has concerns regarding this. She also doesn't know that I already have an approved I-130 from my sister. She wants to meet me tomorrow and I will tell her then.

What do you guys say ? Is there anything to be concerned about ? I think whichever GC comes first, you should be able to withdraw the remaining petitions. Your feedback is appreciated.
 
It is not a problem to have multiple GC petitions pending. The only advice generally counsel give is that , dont go for 485 in all GC applications.
If you tell the lawyer all your options, you can work out all the possible avenues and mitigate risk.
Your lawyer will definitely give the best possible solution, possible options and contingency action...
 
Thanks Jaxen. I'm meeting with lawyer in a few minutes and will see what She says.
