I will write a bigger post later on. But whatever happens do not apply for I-485 till you get your I-140 approved.
I did that mistake and had to leave US recently after my I-140 and I-485 got rejected. Once your I-485 is denied - you can't move to options like O-1, E-2, B1 etc. H1 will be your only option.
As far as chances of EB1-A. If you work in tech and are a startup co-founder, the chances of getting an EB1-A currently are really low. I talked to quite a few top law firms recently - BAL, Wolfsdorf etc, and they all mentioned that tech startup founders are finding it really difficult to get EB1-A.
Two of my petitions were rejected. I had lot of media about me, sold a company, leadership positions in various companies, wrote a book which is part of MBA course, judge at hackday. Apparently that was not enough.
