Should I wait for my EB2 GC to be filed (born in India) or just go straight to another country on an L1 and come back on EB1

The latter. You won't ever get a GC in your lifetime for EB2

If you don’t have a priority date from like a decade ago the second option is the only way.

If you file now, gc will take easily another 2 decades via EB2/EB3.

Thanks! I guess the question is if I should even wait for the EB2 process to be completed? My PERM is about to be back (filed in March 2021 😭) so it will easily take another 6 months to a year to get my I140 even with PP (that I will pay for myself since I have about 2.5 years left on my H1)

PWD is taking that long now?

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback
