I should have opted for CP
- Thread starter oak
- Start date
Yes, it's possible (I-824 or attorney certified I-140 if approved for AOS and if the consulate accepts it). However, it's not worthwhile, especially so since you already did 2nd FP and your day must be very very close now.
I, too, think I should have gone for CP - but then, the delay was not anticipated at that time. So not much sense in regretting...
Best wishes,

i feel your pain . . .
my RD is sept 6th, so my case is not as bad as yours yet.
I too have regrets about choosing AOS vs CP.
But at the moment . . . whare are we going to do. nothing. we'll have to wait. my guess is, April is our month.
Let's face it, October and November are always about audit, December is christmas, January is new years, February is too cold to go to work in Vermont, March is spring and lots of work to do. By april they should get to our applications. Maybe even approve some of them . . . I think April was always a good month for the INS.

Yes, but you have to decide for yourself whether it's worthwhile. If I-824 takes 6 months, CP itself can take upto 8 months (typically, 6 months; but recently these times, too, have increased). Also, CP is not advisable if your job-prospects are uncertain and if you/dependent violated legal visa status in past. Once you file I-824, AOS is automatically terminated. If AOS is denied, you can always appeal. If visa during the CP is denied (happens extremely rare), that's the end of your immigration ambition. CP is ideal for those whose I-140 was approved in EB-1/NIW as there are no job related complications.
