L1B to L1A Conversion approval rate in 207

Hi, 

I am in L1-B status with I-94 expiry date of Jan 2018, at this point I need to decide whether to extend L1B or convert to L1A.

1. How good are the chances of getting L1A approval?

2. If L1A is rejected will I be able to apply for L1B extension? 

3. Will there be any negative impact when I apply for L1B extension immediately following L1A rejection?

4. Also, I have Approved I-140 under EB2 with March 2020 priority data. What is the best option to continue my stay beyond 2020 (L1B Maxout period)

Appreciate your input.

One's chances of changing from L1B to L1A generally depend on the nature of the job. L1B and L1A each have limited number of years. An extension beyond those limits is not available under the law; only H1B status can be extended beyond it's limit of 6 years based on either a pending Labor Certificate/I-140 pending or an approved I-140 with a non-current priority date.
