More details to this question:
I am on H1b visa and working for employer A. I understand that companies can apply for green card in Eb1 if I worked for the company outside the US. I worked for 2 companies (B and C) outside the US and they have office in the US as well. One of the employer (B) sponsored my H1b and other(C) did not.

For eligibility in the EB1 category, the employer itself, the actual job and the employee him/herself must meet qualifications, and your question does not provide enough information to supply a full legal analysis about eligibility. There really is no substitute for you and a representative of your employer(s) to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.
