L1A after H1B
I work for a big MNC (fortune 50 product company).
Here is my story in timelines:
12/01/2009: Enter US on H1B (startup product company)
4/30/2012: Change Job (H1B transfer) to a small company ABC
7/1/2013: Current employer (Large product company XYZ) acquires ABC (H1 transfer done)
7/15/2015: Transfer to India office with same employer (fully owned subsidiary)
7/15/2015-current: 5-6 B1 trips to US (each about 2 weeks)
7/1/2017- Promoted to Senior manager (6 direct reports India, 12 vendor in-direct reports India, 2 direct reports)
I am planning to apply L1A in July / August this year (and file a EB1C green card). The salary will be in range of about 160-170K (+ Bonus) in San Jose, CA
I will have 17 years of experience in July 2018 (when my employer applies for L1A)
Here is my confusion:
1. Is there a risk because I had multiple B1 visits in 3 years?
2. From 7/1/2017 to 7/1/2018, I will have US visits totaling about 8 weeks (4 trips). Do I need to wait that much extra from 1 year to be eligible for L1A?
3. Having H1B in the past a problem?
