H1b - EB1C eligibility

Hi,

I am on H1B 7th year approved i140(with previous employer in eb2). My role is manager/director managing 15+ people and 15 yrs exp… I have been asked to go to another country by my current employer for the same job. If I am to come back to US after 1 year. Can I file in EB1C. Note that i have 2.5 year remaining in current H1B

Thanks

Yes you will be eligible for EB1C. You can come back on H1B itself as the time spent outside US won’t be counted.
