Should I go with Adjustment of Status or NVC Consular processing

Just because a visa petition has found its way to the National Visa Center (NVC) does not mean that you must consular process your case. If you decide to stick with the I-485 application, U.S.C.I.S. will call back the I-130 petition from the NVC if it requires the petition for adjudication. As you have already filed for adjustment of status, you may be more comfortable waiting for the notice of interview. In looking at the current processing time chart for the Detroit office (since your state is Michigan), the field office is processing family-based I-485 applications between 7-17.5 months. Consular processing usually takes approximately 6 months from this point. It is up to you as to which processing you prefer.
