I was married to an American citizen but my case was denied cause of that "5-10 years bar". That was in 2008. I'm in the process of divorce and Stanley steemer is willing to help and sponsor me cause I had an experience of more than 6 years in that same company.

An employer could petition for you at any time assuming they can demonstrate you are at the very least eligible for classification as a skilled worker. The issue is you will not be able to take advantage of the approved petition if you are in the United States without status. You cannot adjust your status in the country based upon a petition filed by an employer unless you have maintained lawful nonimmigrant status. If you depart the country, you risk triggering another bar for unlawful presence. If you have not been in the United States, the answer would depend upon why you are subject to the bar and when it will run.
