QUESTION
Am I still eligible for intra-company transfer Visa L1?
Asked on Jul 28th, 2011 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I am a EU citizen who may have the chance of being rehired by a former US employer in US. I was recruited in Europe for a managerial position and worked for almost three years, there, unfortunately I was laid off in the mid of 2009. So if they’d like to rehire me for a position in US, am I still eligible for a L1 intra-company transfer Visa? Thanks in advance.

Update Your Profile
If your last employment as an executive or specialized knowledge employee was mid 2009, your last "year" of experience started mid 2008. If your employer files now, August 2011, the furthest back they can go is August 2008. Do you have 1 year of experience with the company since August 2008? That is your answer. Please note that your qualifying experience is falling off with each passing day. If this is not clear, check with company immigration counsel.
