Employer refused to file GC, need a 8th year in US

[sparkle1]

Hello,

so here is my situation:

dec-2007 - came to US on L1B

Oct-2011 - H1B was effective

31-dec-2013 - 6th yr in US

applied for GC through my co (a MNC) they refused to file my GC application as i do not qualify since i have only 3 yrs of bachelors and wasn't in offshore for 3 yrs. (i was in offshore for only 2.5 yrs)

Below is the options they gave me:

1) You continue on your H-1B visa for now and then convert to L-1A if eligible. You may be eligible to stay in the US for a max stay of 7 years on your L-1A visa or 6 years on your H-1B visa

2) Work offshore for 8 months. Upon return to the US, you may be eligible for GC in EB-3.

3) If you work offshore for 1 year in a “managerial capacity,” at an SA level or higher, upon return to the US, you may be eligible for GC in EB-1-3 as a Multinational Manager.

I'm going to get married next yr and fiance has a GC (EB1) effective jan-2010.

Need advice on what should i do next?

1. should i spend one year outside US and apply in EB1 as citizenship and then my GC application will take time. He will able to apply for citizenship only in Nov-2014 (90 days prior to completing 5 yrs on GC)

2. Is there anyway i can get a 8th year in US since in that year my fiance can get his citizenship and i can start my GC process

3. Is there any other option.

Thanks in advance.
