I am on L1A. Is there any minimum amount of time I must be in the U.S. before my employer can file my green card under EB1(c) category?

Answer

There is not a minimum number of days that one must be on L1A before the company can file the EB1(c) case. The only durational issue is that the sponsoring U.S. company must have been in business for at least one year prior to filing. So, if this is a “new office” case, the GC will have to wait.
