My questions are-

1) How long app. time frame for AOS I485 process?
---- It depend on service centers and you can check your service center processing times and make a guess, most of I-485 are pending for the longtime .
2) Can I switch now to Consular Processing? Pros & Cons?
----You can, but CP has its own risks and AOS has some benefits, go to www.immihelp.com and read AOS or CP
3) How much time will I save moving to CP instead of 485 route?
---- As you filed I-485 in Dec 2002 I don’t think you will get GC by CP much earlier than AOS because for CP you have to file new form, BCIS will take its own time to send your file to NVC and then NVC will take its own time to forward your file to Consulate and then again depends on what is your consulate and how much time they take to send interview notice
4) Which one should be better if I can move. India (Bombay) or Canada (Montreal).
---- Bombay, because India has been your home country and Bombay is good consulate for CP as I have not read much of denial from that consulate for immigrant visa if you have clear case and they can verify your each document if they need. Canada may be risky
