Please help – apply for LC using the experience acquired in the same company

I got a Master degree and worked for a research institute for nearly three years. Now I want to start LC application here, but nearly all my qualifications are experience accumulated in this institute. After talking with two different lawyers, I was told that I could not apply for LC using the experience I obtained from the same institute. I understand that I may have two options:

1) Apply for a position different from my current one and use my experience acquired in the old position. (My institute is going to promote me to a higher position soon).
2) Apply for whatever position, but only use experience before I joined the institute.

My impression is that both lawyers preferred to go the second one and avoid the first. But in my case, if I go through the second one, there would be too many applicants for the position due to the low level of the requirement, which would make my case weak. Does anybody have any similar experience or suggestions on which option I should go for?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

My opinion is that option #2 is your safest bet. Your lawyers are right. You cannot use the experience accrued in the sponsoring company to apply for LC.
