Can a refugee submit an AOR and an I-730 Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition?
Yes; however, neither the processing entity or DHS/USCIS can determine which application is seen first. Note that when the applicant is notified of his/her interview, he/she can chose to ignore the processing of either application. The applicant should notify the anchor relative of his/her decision. The refugee and/or anchor relative should notify the Voluntary Resettlement Agency and DHS/USCIS as well.
