Please help me with advice

I have two options:
1. Relocate to another city and promote to manager but have my Perm process restarted
2. Stay in my current job position (which I’m tired of) for another year or so until promotion and wait for GC in my current state

My perm has yet to be filed. I’m on a L1 visa with about 3 years remaining and my GC is expected to take a few years since I’m African. My heart really wants a manager position..

Go for the new position. 3 years is enough to begin the process again.

Can you switch to H1? That way you can renew while you wait for your GC. Im
african as well and heard the process takes about 2-3 years.

I also think it’s 2-3 years

GC / PERM is an application with an intent for a job in the future. You can continue with the perm process for current location. You can move to the new location while perm is in process. Once you are nearing the green card approval, move to the PERM location for a few days. Then go back to the new location once you get your green card.
Do confirm with the lawyers though!

Ex Deloitte. I took the promotion when I had 3 yrs left and I often regret it. Now Im maxing out. Deloitte processes things very slowly. My perm didn’t come out in time and moving back home now. Given all the delays at the moment, better to be safe than sorry. Delaying your promotion may suck but you may thank yourself later

Did Deloitte make you wait for 2 years before they could initiate GC process?

It depends where you are in the process. If you are close to having a PERM filed, stay. If you are in PWD stage, then go, you have enough time to get it. I was in the same boat and rather than staying in the same position, decided to make manager and start from scratch - I was still in PWD stage so I figured I have enough time with 3 years still on L1

Considering COVID delays-How long does it take nowadays for the PERM process? Need some thoughts on my case..

Should I quit McK and go back to my old employer once my PD becomes current? My PD EB2 Aug 2014 from previous employer is likely become current in EB3 category by end of this year. I was hoping to downgrade EB2>EB3 and apply concurrent I-140 and I-485 under EB3. Since my job description has changed significantly McK will need to start PERM from scratch. McK will start PERM process only after 13 months of full time employment (will start PERM in April 2022). It will take atleast a 1/1.5 years for new PERM process to go through. PERM approved in Sep 2023 (correct me if I am not thinking this correctly).

Not sure if going back to old employer makes since in my case. Does my old employer file a new PERM or just the EB2 >EB3 downgrade? Going back ..my location and wage will change again. Also, the previous firm got acquired by another company and is operating under a different name.
