    Does it make sense to do CP anymore???

    I would strongly recommend CP I would strongly recommend CP. With CP there is definite time period for the whole process which typically 3 to 6 months after 140 approval. With 485 its a hit or miss. Either you could get your GC within 3 to 6 months or wait for years (many are waiting upto five...
