Hello Everyone,
I hope someone could shed some light on my case.
Background:
- I came to work in the United States for the US branch of a European company in 2006 with a E1 Visa (which is still my Visa), after working a little more than a year in the European HQ
- Since then I worked in US office (as the president, it's a 120M$ company), however my job contract has always been and still is with the European HQ (they pay me in euro, etc), I am not employed by the US office
So, if we start a petition for a EB-1C (multinational manager - executive):
- considering that I am still employed by the foreign company (even thou I am physically present in US), would that be ok with the requirement "You must have been employed outside the United States in the 3 years preceding the petition for at least 1 year by a firm or corporation and you must be seeking to enter the United States to continue service to that firm or organization" ?
- assuming that is ok, is there any way I can maintain my current employment with the foreign company even if the US subsidiary is petitioning for the green card? In other words: is there any requirement for the level of salary of the job offer from the US office? For instance: if I currently make 200k (paid by the european HQ), would it be ok if the US office presents a "symbolic" salary in the offer of 10k, and I still get the rest from the HQ?
thanks in advance for any help!
