Multiple labors. Which to pursue?

[user2007]

Hi,

My husband has 2 labors approved. 1 applied in 2005 that got approved recently and the other one applied in 2006 that was filed in PERM. (Both labors filed by the same employer)

Now we have:

1.For 2005 filing: labor approved
2.For 2006 filing(PERM): labor and I-140 approved.

I am on H1 B and want to file for I485 as a beneficiary to my husband’s application.

My question:

Which labor is best to pursue to get EAD and green card sooner?

I’m aware that if we go ahead with 2005 filing, we can apply for I-140, I-485 and EAD together. Will it take more time to get me the EAD as compared to the 2006 application (for which we would apply for only I-485 and EAD)? If so, how long?

Appreciate your time.

This sounds simple, use the one with earlier PD (assuming that both are in teh same EB category) and include yourself as a derivative.
