I’m at my 3.5 years H1B. Now a good opportunity comes up and I still haven’t got my i140 (far from it). Taking the offer would mean that it’ll be super risky for GC as the new company starts the GC process no earlier than 6 months mark possibly 1 year. But if I stay, that means I’m stuck with EY for another 2 years at least. Is it worth it to take the risk? Ultimately, is the career development more important or the GC?

Do you want to stay and work in the US? If so, GC is priority. Can you negotiate with your new company for them to initiate your GC right when you join?

Yeah, but depending on OPs country of origin, it can take more time. Also, you should consider other options too, not just base it on career. Are you thinking of getting married soon? If yes, then you have consider H4 EAD that you can get after I-140.

I’m on the same boat. Have 2 yr left on H1B. At four year h1b. I’m still planning to take the risk. Go for the opportunity. Ask ur new employer to cover your immigration risks

PERM is so slow right now😭

Scenario 1)

Imagine you work at your dream job and don't have work authorization anymore? You are sent back home. There goes your American dream to trash with excellent skill sets that can't find you employment anymore.

Scenario 2)

You still work at EY, have an i140, your priority date is locked. Your dream job comes up and you're selected. You switch the job and suddenly your priority date is current, you have your dream job and GC both.

Its a country where your work authorization is everything, and not your skills. Straight forward choice. Don't fall into the trap of having a "Viable" career. That's just some nirvana BS.
