Product Manager in Tech trying to make sense of visa options [L1B to EB-1c?]

Currently a PM at FAANG who just moved to the US.

While in India, I didn't have any direct reports, but I know L1A allows functional managers to apply. I applied for an L1A blanket visa, but during the interview, the officer said he'd prefer giving an L1B instead, so that's what I got (wtf?) - even though my whole petition was L1A based.

It looks like I can still apply for EB-1c even though I'm on an L1B because I have functional management experience both in the subsidiary as well as in my role here.

What are the chances of my EB-1c application going through? Or should I just stick to EB2/EB3?

The other option is to re-apply at the consulate for an L1A. Is this possible at this stage without having to go to another country and waiting it out for a year?

My lawyers are recommending EB2/3, but they feel pretty incompetent and non-transparent. For all I know, they might be recommending that to improve their success numbers and have an easier filing process since EB-1 is a lot more intensive.

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
