If you are a multinational enterprise, your company wants to transfer an employee abroad into the US, you need to meet the following requirements:

1. the employee must be employed in a managerial or executive capacity as continuously abroad for one of the past three years;
   
   
2. both US company and foreign company must be qualifying organizations, such as parent, branch, affiliate, or subsidiary;
