L1 visa or spouse visa?

Hi, I'm a citizen of a western EU country.

I met my American husband through gaming back in 2018. We travelled back and forth to visit eachother a few times, before getting married in Florida at the end of 2019. Since then, I have been living back in my own country, and he has been living in his. - i.e. we have never co-habitated. I worry that a US immigration official would think that we were not a 'real' couple because of this, if we were to apply for a spouse visa.

I work for a major tech company, and am considering applying for an L1 (internal company transfer) visa to the US instead. Just so that my husband and I can get to a point where we live in the same country as eachother. I am a junior developer at my company though - and therefore i worry that I will not qualify for an L1-B visa.

What type of visa would I be better off applying for?

Any/all advice appreciated. I worry that I don't even know the right questions to be asking.
