I am on L1B & planning to go consulate for visa extension (employer suggestion). I-94 will expire on DEC 2020, because of reentry in US on DEC 2017.

Expiration Date/PED on Passport Visa - 14MAR2019 


Questions: 
1. If my Visa didn't get extended & i've few months remaining on old visa/i-129s. Can i renter US without problem? 

2. If i don't want to go for extension. Is it possible to work after expiry of L1B visa on the basis of valid I-94 (till it expires) which will expire after 2 years of my visa expiry. My employer is also planning to file GC for me, will it effect my GC process or obtaining other visa, reentering US in future? 

3. Can i stay here till 2020 and i get converted to H1B ? 

4. Confused with I-129s Dates (Given Below)

5. I found on some website/forum about travel ban of 3yrs if I leave US between 6months - 1yrs & 10yrs ban on staying above 1 Year. Which Expiry Date they are considering, L1B Visa, I-129S or I-94?

I-129s has 2 stamps 
First Rectangle shape stamp under 'For USCIS use only' section - Approving post: US Consulate, City / Approving Officer: Signature / Valid Until: 3 Years (Hand written) / Date 15 Mar 2016 

Second Oval shape stamp near to "Information About the Proposed Employment": 
Admitted DAL SEP 05 2016 (date i entered dallas airport)/Class L1 / Until: 04 sep 2019
