How to Meet the Requirement of EB-1C Petition Working for the Foreign Company

Hi William,

I am in U.S. with L1A visa currently, and I have filed the EB-1C Green Card application about 3 months ago, Now, I received a Request For Evidence (RFE) for the question of my working experience with the
foreign company for one year.  How could I meet the requirement of "worked for the foreign company for at least 1 year continuously within the last 3 years prior to filing the EB-1C petition"?

Answer,

The EB-1C immigrant petition with Form I-140 is filed with USCIS. If the manager or executive is already in the United States in a valid nonimmigrant status such as L-1A, Form I-485 may be concurrently filed with USCIS if visas are available. The EB-1C immigrant petition beneficiary should have worked for the foreign company for at least 1 year continuously within the last 3 years prior to filing the EB-1C petition
 
To qualify for an EB-1C Green Card application, the EB-1C petition beneficiary must have worked for the foreign company full-time for 1 continuous year, prior to filing the EB-1C petition.

    1) If the EB-1C 
petition beneficiary is currently working for the U.S. company petitioner, then the beneficiary must have worked for the foreign company for 1 continuous year within the preceding 3 years prior to beginning their work for the U.S. company.

    2) If the EB-1C 
petition beneficiary is not currently working for the U.S. company petitioner, then the beneficiary must have worked for the foreign company for 1 continuous year within the 3 years preceding the date the EB-1C petition is filed.
