thanks,

I am new to CP. What is the visa class category for CP? What should the initials be? I see F1, E3 etc.. not CP.
thanks.
 
aonflux,

there is no category as 'CP'...the categoris shown are same as the normal visa categories which you may be aware of like K-1, V-1, etc. In the list that you see in the 'immigrant appointment schedule', the categories are family based (F), employment based (E), etc.

So if you are Employment based and in EB3 category, then u should see E3 for urself. hope that helps.

good luck

quick question - i noticed that there were very few E1 or E2 and E3 applicants in the February CP interview list at bombay. so does that mean there arent many employment based applications that go through the CP process and its much faster than the I-485 process?
thanks

nishokie,

ur Q in general, 'Is CP faster than 485'? is a mighty loaded question. And I am sure you will find several discussions on this forum...especially since AC21 became law and the current processing trends/timeline for 485/CP in general. Also, it depends on ur situation whether u got married after getting 485 approved and are doing FTJ and then CP maybe ur choice.

anyways, i am rambling here and maybe u see my point that its a 'loaded Q':)

I will comment on ur observation that there werent too many 'E' based interviews in February. from what i know how the 'E-based' CP interview dates work is that if ur case had been forwarded to the consulate by beginning (1-15th) of decmeber, then u shud expect an interview in february. based on this, i do not know how many cases were sent to mumbai consualte for 'e-based' applicants from november-december 2004. so basically its hard for us to know the basis of the number of E-based interviews in february...maybe there were less applicants in nov/dec 2004?

our case was sent to mumbai consualte on 1/5/05 and am still waiting for P4/interview date.

good luck to you.

congratulations gc. i think i am going to take the I485 route rather than CP. i had a previous case of inadvertent overstay in the US so CP may be risky for.
good luck for your interview.

Nishokie,

If you over stayed then you can not take 485 route. You have to go through CP. It is clearly mentioned that if you over stayed then you 485 can be denied and they ask you to go to CP.
