Is your family-based I-130 petition priority date is current? It's not enough for I-130 to be approved. The priority date on your I-130 has to be current too.

No, there could be no two separate I-485 applications for adjustment of status pending at the same time. Consult an immigration lawyer for a case-specific advice - as to what is the best course of actions.
