[Q] Can I submit both I-526 petition and I-485 to CSC if I am maintaining my NIV status in the U.S.?
No, there is no "concurrent filing" allowed for EB-5 cases. You have to wait until I-526 petition is approved, and if you are still maintaining your NIV status (note maintaining your NIV status is different from avoiding "unlawful stay" -- hard to explain it here), you can go ahead and file I-485 application.
