L1 Visa Rule Clarification

[hpatel2569]

Hi,

Could anyone please clarify the rule below for L1 visa eligibility:

Generally have been working for a qualifying organization abroad for one continuous year within the three years immediately preceding his or her admission to the United States

Since the rule is 1 year in the past 3 years, do you have to be currently working for the company that you have secured employment with in USA?

For example:

Employment in entity A - 2015-2018 in the UK
Current Employment in entity B in Canada - few months in 2019
Employment secured in entity C which is a qualifying entity to entity A which is in USA - seeking to join in mid 2019

Will I qualify for L1 visa?
