Not a lawyer. It may not improve chances directly except in two regards: 1) Having a US employer with US salary would make it a little easier to satisfy some criteria (e.g., high salary in eb1a), and 2) Changing the status from one category to a green card is easier to do in the US through an adjustment of status where you can continue to work in the US based on an existing status (e.g., H1B, O1, L1, etc.). If you do everything from outside the US, you need to go through the consular processing route, which can take a year or more.
