how long for cp process
My husband just got his I140 approved. Initially he was suppose to file for AOS concurrently, but his company was bought over by another company and the new comapny would not file amended I140 since his salary was less than the one in LC. Hence his lawyers could not file for 485.

Now his old I140 got approved and I was wondering if we can go the CP path using his I140. (note that meanwhile I have applied for I140/485 concurrently at VSC and have already received EAD and AP for myself and my husband)

How long it will take if we go for CP to get an inteview at Mumbai cosulate if we start now. Do we need anything from his current company given that the I140 is from his previous company. Can we do it on our own?

I have read about AC140, can we use this?

I really appreciate any response. I am desperate that we got GC through him, so that I can be free to leave my job given that we just had a baby.

Thanks
 
For your situation i think AOS is better choice. The Salary on the labor should be effective once the 485 is approved. Now you can apply without worrying about the salary. If RFE is generated that time you can give answer. You can use AC-21. There will be so many ways. Hire some good attorney.


This is just my opinion. Look around and decide.

Go for it ...

My suggestion is that you should definately go for the CP option. I have noticed that the salary issue is usually negotiable and INS understands the constraints of the economy.

Before you decide to do so, you should collect as much information on this as possible. You do not have much to loose except for the filing fee.
 
Abandoning I-485

Whatever you do, just remember that once you apply to process the CP route, any filed AOS applications (I-485) are considered abandoned. So go for the CP only if you are absolutely sure you want to do it.
