[cross post] from J1 to H1B to GC

I'm in a very strange situation.

I had my J1 visa 2 years rule long time a go. After graduate I left the US and work in other country. In 2015 my employer (in the US) filed my H1B petition, by this time I have only completed 1 year out of the 2 years rule. I wasn't aware of the complication. Luckily I got my H1B approved.

After that I went to the consulate to get the H1B visa but I decide to not move to the US yet (personal reason). One year later I move to the US (same H1B), at this point I already fulfilled 2 years at home country.

I've been working under H1B for few years then my employer file for I140 and I485. Only now I do realize the complication. What will happen with my GC application ?

Scenario 1: got REF and USCIS found out the H1B situation and get GC rejected.
Scenario 2: got GC rejected, H1B revoked and deportation.

Other scenario: ?

I've been google for the last few days and found nothing related to my case.
Thanks a lot.
