Dilemma- Continue working as Consultant vs FullTime Offer (H1B Approved recently)

Hi bro haru need some guidance on what would be the right step to take.

My H1B recently got approved for 3 years. I have been working as a contractor via desi consultancy for 2.5 years now for the same client. Desi consultancy has been very good to me, never got paid late, they applied for my h1b without me saying a word and all. And they have even started talks about GC processing.

But, recently, my client has been getting rid of contractors. But I got offered a fulltime position as well as H1B transfer and GC sponsorship promise. I could have easily accepted the fulltime offer but the job i initially got was via a fake 7 yr experience resume as we all know. Now the questions that are creating a dilemma are:
1) Background checks they might find out i lied in the resume, as the fulltime position being offered is for 6 yrs experience and my resume has to go through HR.
2)Also i will have no solid reason to ask HR to apply GC with EB3 as my fake resume will have 9 yrs experience mentioned. So they will insist on eb2 which wont be possible as my real experience is only 2.5 yrs.

So i am thinking it is just better to stay with desi consultancy until i get my GC and not risk. Also my client doesnt have huge experience in filing GC, max 10 filed till now. Moreover pay will also be about 20k$ less even though i will have benefits. Thoughts guys?
