Within the last three years immediately preceding the EB-1 petition or their L-1 entry to the U.S., the foreign worker was employed abroad by the company for at least one continuous year;
The foreign worker will continue providing services to this same employer or a parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate;
The foreign worker’s position abroad was executive or managerial;
The foreign worker is coming to the U.S. to fill an executive or managerial position; and
