My workplace is processing my GC, currently pending DOL wage certification. I hate my job. If I change job, it appears they'll have to start the process again. It looks like I will lose work permit if I don't receive i140 on time. I haven't run the numbers but is it too late to change jobs now? What are my options? It's too stressful!

I know. It's awful. But if you find an employer who's willing to help, you have plenty of time. And - although not 100% true - in my experience, it's never good to stay in a bad job because of immigration.
