Which option is quicker for processing - consular processing in India or adjustment of staus in the US? I am a US citizen who will be filing for my mom who lives in Calcutta. I am currently in Arlington, VA (Vermont Service Center). Thank you.
 
Check the processing dates under I-485 of your dist office & processing dates of I-130 of vermount service center & compare it..

Processing time of I-485 at dist office will be time for your mother for AOS.
If she goes for CPm, it will be processing time of I-130 of vermount service center + couple of more months as approved IV goes to NVC for routing to Local consulate.

I hope this helps..
 
Processing Time

Thank you. I checked the processing times:

I-485 in Washington, DC (Arlington, VA) is taking 270-360 days for AOS and I-130 is taking 4 months. After the local office (Arlington, VA) is informed by the NVC, how long before the American Consulate in India gets my mom's application? Seems like consular processing is quicker...
