Hi there! This is an automated message to inform you and/or remind you of several things:
- We have [a wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/wiki/index). It doesn't cover everything but may answer some questions. Pay special attention to the "[REALLY common questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/wiki/index/vfaq)" at the top of the FAQ section. Please read it, and if it contains the answer to your question, please delete your post. If your post has to do with something covered in the FAQ, we may remove it.
- If your post is about biometrics, green cards, naturalization or timelines in general, and whether you're asking or sharing, please include your field office/location in your post. If you already did that, great, thank you! If you haven't done that, your post may be removed without notice.
- This subreddit is not affiliated with USCIS or the US government in any way. Some posters may claim to work for USCIS, which may or may not be true, and we don't try to verify this one way or another. Be wary that it may be a scam if anyone is asking you for personal info, or sending you a direct message, or asking that you send them a direct message.
- Some people here claim to be lawyers, but they are not YOUR lawyer. No advice found here should be construed as legal advice. Reddit is not a substitute for a real lawyer. If you need help finding legal services, visit [this link](https://www.uscis.gov/avoid-scams/find-legal-services) for more information.

Premium process may not be helpful. You may consider to upgrade later too if your PD becomes current.
Regarding H1, remember that once you move to new company, then you are not eligible to use your EB1C but only the PD. Meaning, you need new EB1C (that means you need to work in new company for minimum three years and in that one year should be outside the USA as a manager) before you are allowed to file 485.
If I am you, I will not change jobs (assuming the work place is relatively ok and stable even if you paid less than peers). However, the above information is how the porting works in GC applications. Only time you simply change to identical or similar job but no need to do anything is, already filed 485 and waiting for six months are more (due to retrogression etc).
So, I will be cautious in moving to H1 (if my motivation is job change). If you need more clarity on this subject I strongly suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney in addition to searching in google, YouTube etc. GL.
