Hello All,
I'm getting super stressed out at this point. My CN number is AS75** and I'm from Nepal. I'm wondering if it is logical to switch to CP at this point (given the cut-off situation of Nepal). I've talked to
@Britsimon and he seems to think it might not be a good idea. Wanted to see what the general consensus on this is(not to discount Simon's opinion, but just trying to talk to a few more people).
How long does it take to switch to CP? The CP process itself seems pretty straightforward and I've always had an straightforward and positive experience at Kathmandu's US embassy. So that's the positive. The negative is that if somehow, something goes wrong, I'm worried that I can't come back to the US since I'm on F1 visa.
As for AoS - I've checked the AoS timeline of this year and previous years. Some FOs seem really efficient and there seems to be as little as 8 days between biometrics and the interview letter. However, in the worst case its taken months, which makes me nervous. However I do believe that filing my AoS documents on time, not making mistakes and being proactive about the whole process (infopass, etc) should give me some chance even if I'm current in September. Like its been mentioned several times here, I also noticed people who were current on Septemeber make it through successfully.
Nerve-wrecking but still hopeful.
best regards!
