HI,
I think when you talk about EB2 GC, you are actually talking about EB1 which is extra-ordinary category to file GC. In that case, you need to prove that you have extra-ordinary talents in the related field, that is your academic field with enough of publications and citation. Actually, EB1 is for researchers, PhDs, Professors , Artist who can prove their talents (EB1-is the category most of the Nepali Artists file GC and get through easily in 5-6 months, even being filed in Nepal. You know some of them, right ?). For EB1, you do not need any sponsorship, you can file indivisually.
So, now EB2 and EB3 are other two category where you can file through company sponsorship. Based on your experience, I think you can easily qualify for EB2. For any Non-profit organization like University and Hospitals, they can file EB2 for you and the benefits that you do not have to fight for the quota system. Now, the issue is current H1B bill of 130K seems to be problematic and if its passed through senate, it will be tough to get GC through H1B. Since you are already in H1B, its extension seems to be uncertain at current situation.

So what option do you have ? of course file GC through sponsorship if your current H1B status is still valid or you have TPS with EAD. There are lots of consultancy in the market who can file GC for you.
