Update Your Profile
The new organization can hire you and file an R-1 application for you. The new organization can then also file an application for permanent resident for you. The other way is for the new organization to file the I-360 petition for you, and then once that is approved, you can file your greencard application. However, I would think that once some other organization files a petition for you, your current employer may let you go, and that's why it might be better to do an R-1 with the new organization first.
