L1A from mexico

[2013raj]

Hello,

I am on H1B now with a company. That same company has an office in mexico too. If I take up a full-time job in Mexico, stay there for a year and a half and then come back here to the US on L1A. then file GC from L1A, is this a clear cut process or are there any loop holes in it? do any of you feel any problem with this ?

Please let me know.

 

thanks in advance.

In general, a foreign national may be eligible to work in the U.S. in L1A status if he has worked abroad for at least 1 year in an executive, managerial, or specialized knowledge position, and will be coming to the U.S. to work for a related company in a managerial or executive position. To apply for a green card under the EB1 multinational manager/executive category, the individual would have to have worked abroad in a managerial or executive position (i.e. specialized knowledge position works for L1A, but not for EB1 purposes.)

So, u are saying that if I go mexico on  a  managerial or executive position and then come back to the USA on L1 A (instead of H1B), this is feasible, right? u don't see any problems there, correct?
