Pending asylum & pending i458

In order for you to file an I-485 application, you must be legally eligible to file such at the time of filing. An improper filing is not cured by obtaining advance parole and being paroled back into the country. If you properly filed for adjustment of status, you would not have to file for an advance parole. Assuming that you have a pending asylum case with USCIS and not the immigration court, a request to withdraw the asylum application may be helpful if the asylum office agrees to the request without doing anything further, but possibly harmful if the asylum office decides to issue a notice for you to go to immigration court at the same time.
