I have a L1-A and have worked here for 2 years. I wish to get a green card. What are the options?

Asked over 2 years ago - New York, NY

I am looking for options outside of employer sponsorship? Can I do it myself and have a reputable friend / colleague to sponsor me?

Additional information

I will continue to work for the company but am curious whether I have to have the company involved at all? I was told by friends that I did not.....they knew people who had got theirs independently?
