2 years remaining on H1 should I switch jobs for PERM

[gcnews05]

Hi,

I have close to two yrs remaining on my H1 and have an offer from a company which is ready to file my gc application in PERM (EB2, Masters + 3yrs exp). Is this time enough or too much of a risk?

My current company has filed my lc in non-RIR, EB2 in Nov 2003. They are also ready to file a PERM application but have had a history of layoffs so I am confused. Kind of tired of working at one place for 5 yrs.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance !!!

depends if you will be retrogressed or not. Anyway, layoffs are bad and could terminate your stay (and hopes for GC) here quicker than you think.
