I wouldn't stay in any job just for paperwork...switch. I was in the same boat and I switched. No regrets and never looked back. I'm happy now.

If you do not have prior
I140 approval with other company, wait for it to be filed, approved and six more months. This way you can have your priority date locked

Until I140 is approved with current company? Being on h1 until when are you applicable to file green card if I plan to switch?

Wait if GC is your priority

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
