requirements for multinational executives and managers under the EB1 first preference

The basic requirements for multinational executives and managers under the EB1 first preference are as follows: a) the alien must have been employed outside the United States in a managerial or executive capacity for at least one year in the three years prior to the filing of the petition; b) if the worker is currently in the U.S. working for the same prospective U.S. employer, the three year period is the time preceding his or her entry to the U.S. as a non-immigrant; c) the foreign employer must have been the same employer, an affiliate or a subsidiary of the prospective U.S. employer; d) the alien must be coming to the U.S. to work in an executive or managerial capacity; and e) the prospective U.S. employer must have been doing business for at least one year. This means that a multinational executive or manager is the one who has been employed outside the U.S. in a managerial or executive capacity for at least one of the three years immediately preceding the filing of the petition. The U.S. employer must file the petition for the manager or executive. The petition must be accompanied by a statement from the U.S. employer affirming all of the pertinent requirements, including a description of the job duties to be performed by the foreign executive/manager in the United States, the job duties performed by the foreign executive/manager abroad, and the periods of employment by the foreign executive/manager abroad. http://www.greencardapply.com/manager/eb1c-requirement.htm http://www.greencardapply.com/manager.htm
