Also being upfront and volunteering the information prior to being asked demonstrates that you are not trying to hide...

    Please advice - Big dilemma

    I am assuming that you are a Team lead/Module lead etc on a project with some developers reporting into you. Unfortunately, this does not suffice for EB1 purposes.
