All fellow folks who have been waiting for GC for years and hence can’t change job. How do you motivate yourself or what keep you motivated when you see you are constantly being overlooked for promotion or better career opportunities or someone getting a lot of credit for your work etc. while folks around you are able to earn more, jump ships and get more out their career. I understand this job is better than job in another country pay wise but what keeps you going ?

Why can’t you change your job? If i-140 is approved, you can switch after 6 months. If 485 is filed, you can use AC21 to switch jobs after 6 months. Am I missing something?
