Of course, you are right. I cannot answer this for you, only you can.
What I can say though – not really knowing details of your circumstances – is that sometimes there is time to slow down and sometimes it is time to go full speed ahead. although this may sound like a platitude there is a big truth in it.
How would you know? Pay attention to the details in your projections. If (and that’s a big IF) you can figure out their source (inner source that is) you can also figure out how you created them and how you ended up with the result you got. That in and of itself is a lesson in what to do next.
Where opportunity arises take it but calculate carefully the consequences. Short term and long term. For yourself and others.
But I know you know that already.
I hope you have a lawyer in your immigration process. This can help you with a speedy-(er) work permit. Talking to someone who is going through the process right now in the US, this seems to work.
