介绍 获得L-1A跨国公司签证成为许多外国商人/企业家的最佳移民选择，特别是那些：1）已经在本国建立了美国海外公司; 2）在过去3年中， 在海外公司至少有1年的高管或经理经验; 和 3）准备在美国建立公司或将会被转到美国现有公司，继续当高管或经理。 2018年11月15日，美国移民局 (“USCIS”) 发布了一份政策备忘录 (“memo”) ，解释“一年海外就业要求”是什么意思。 如果要满足这要求，在提交L-1A申请的前3年中，L-1A受益人必须在海外公司连续担任至少1年的高管/经理。 请注意以下几点： 在所需的1年工作期间，L-1A受益人必须在美国境外; 职位必须是全职的; 受益人的职位必须是总裁或管理性质的; 和 在提交最初的L-1A申请之前，必须满足这1年工作要求。 常问问题 (“FAQs”) 1. 如果我在美国期间接受海外公司发的薪水，这时间会计入1年的工作要求内吗？ 不会。只有在美国海外/境外的工作经验才算。 2． 为了商业或度假原因而在美国短暂旅行是否会扰乱1年的工作要求？ 不会。不会扰乱也不会有所帮助。 Memo指示移民官在那1年工作经验里减去受益人在美国度过的时间。 例子如下： 如果海外公司于2016年1月1日开始雇佣受益人，而受益人在1年内短暂逗留在美国，共计60天，受益人必须再累积至少60天（在2017年1月1日之后）的海外高管/经理工作经验才能符合L-1A的申请要求。... read more →
