help on L2

wife on L2 getting her green card filed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if somebody could help me with this problem, i would be very grateful.

i am in The US on a L1 since May 2002, and so my 6 year clock would expire in May 2008.
my wife has an EAD based on her L2. she has now got two offers,
1) permanent position with a company based on her current EAD, and they have said that they
will consider filing for green card somewhere around october/november.
2) a consulting company which is ready to sponsor her H1B and who will search for a

consulting job for her starting october 2006 and then they will file for her green card too.

which is better? joining a company for a permanent position and then hoping their green card
goes thru before the clock gets in the way, or joining the consultant on a H1?

moreover, what happens to my status. suppose in either case her green card gets filed

sometime in november 2006, what would be my status in May 2008? will i have to go back and

stay the one year period outside of the US?
