Hi immigration guru,

I am sure this is one of the topics, which has been discussed many times. However, I am a newbie to this forum and couldn't find the related threads.
So, if you could point me to the discussion thread or if you have
any input, please let me know.

My situation is as follows:
I just recevied my LC recently, and now deciding whether I should
choose to go CP or AOS. I am a Canadian citizen and living in CA.
The USCIS site shows that I-140 processing is currently taking
about a year and AOS would take at least 2 yrs. Assuming I don't
change job for the next 2 years, but cannot predict whether
a layoff would happen or not. What's my best option?

Is anyone currently doing/has done a CP from CA service centre and
has chosen Montreal (the only Canadian consullate accepting CP?)?
What's the situation at Montreal consulate?

BTW, I saw references to POE and DOE. What are they?

Thanks a bunch

Questions

My Labor Application ( RIR) was approved from New York after 3 yrs ( as you all know NY was ascrewed up).

IN that time my position and compensation has increased considerably (63 % more than my compensation mentioned in the LAbor Application).PLease note that I am working for a top company.So there is no question of the company not being able to meet the salaries mentioned there.

I am thinking of applying for I-140 and Consular Processing there after.IS it a good idea or should I go the I-140 way ???

Given the time line for 485 process , the cp route is still a better option.
If you research the forum you will find hundreds of posts endorsing the
consular process.

If you are confident about your paperwork, the continuity of your job
for the next 1 year then you can safely opt for the CP in your I-140
petition.
