Thank you, I am a female here on behalf of Mr Smalllacrimose. Yes the interview was done in lagos because he choose CP instead of AOS in the states. The pros of doing CP is that it is faster and more straightforward. The cons is that if you were denied, you wont be able to return to the states (or it would be difficult) under a nonimmigrant visa..(F-1 visa, or B1/B2 visa) since they require non-immigration intent. Once you file for DV-lottery you have shown interest in becoming a permanent resident.

Pros of doing AOS is that you remain in the US while you apply or adjust status. If the person was denied at the interview, you can appeal which you cant do if you choose CP. The consulars decision is final at a US embassy abroad. Most people are comfortable with the fact that they can appeal if anything goes wrong plus you dont have to waste money for ticket to fly back home

Cons of doing AOS is that it can be a complicated process and if care is not taken, the whole process from when you become current can take between 2-5months. If you have a high case number, you dont have that time to gamble because you have to adjust your status before Sept 30th. If the process is not completed before the deadline, the person status in the US may become out of status or illegal.

Okay, so you came to Nigeria to have this CP? Or it coincided with your holiday or something? But if Case file number is high, it should reflect on CP or AOS, my guess. Or can a high CN fit in more on AOS? I guess when one submits forms with KCC, has some time benefits too.Lots of questions, however I know u will give them a go not only for my rich understanding but for others who will benefit. I wish u all the best in ur career and life in America.
 
congrats

Hi smalllacrimose,

Congratulation on your successful interview yesterday. It's also good to know that since you opted for CP, you came all the way from the states for your interview in Nigeria. I was wondering what would have happened if you were not successful in your in your interview yesterday.
Anyway since you are come from the states, could you please tell us more about the employment situation there in these recession period? May be any information as to the standard of living there as a green card holder will also be appreciated.
Congratulation once again

thank you Alexee, If he wasn't successful, we would have been in big trouble but we had faith and trusted God!!! We also had back up plans just in case.
Employment situation is getting better...Things are still hard though, it would take patience and perseverance to get what you really want. I am sure other members of this forum would agree ( Petit, Gasper, Danje and all) As a green card holder, you have a thousand and one opportunities. The first year of getting green card might be rough but the reward is greater at the end.

Yes, he went just for CP. Normally, people advise others to go CP if your case number is high but some people still risk AOS with high case numbers. It can be done even with high case number and is probably the safe way to do it instead of going back to your home country. The earlier you submit your package the better.

He choose CP for these reason: 1) Last fiscal year his case number did not become current till August, which means he technically had 2 months for AOS before Sept 30th. (but then the visa bulletin went by quickly this year for Nigeria) 2) Graduation was around the corner, and he would graduated before his number got called according to 2009 fiscal year...And to do AOS you must be in legal status (F Visa, H Visa or any other type of visa that qualifies for AOS). After graduation, you have 60 days grace period to leave the country or apply for OPT/H1 B if you have a job.
