Assess the applicable temporary-service and subsequent foreign-assignment evidence for owners or major stockholders, alongside the actual category and process.
Describe genuine plans
Ownership does not remove the relevant temporary assignment conditions.
After the ownership documents are in order, the qualifying year is evidenced and the US operation is genuinely ready for the transferee, and with enough margin before the intended start for a request for further evidence. Compare the employee’s present foreign duties with the proposed U.S. role, recalculate whether one continuous qualifying year abroad falls within the three years before filing, and revise letters, charts, budgets, and the staffing plan to remove unearned authority. The foreign payroll evidence must cover one continuous year of full-time qualifying employment falling inside the three years before filing, and that window closes with time, so a transferee who has already spent months working in the United States should have the count checked early. Describe realistically what staffing and financing will exist at the outset, and keep the actual operating record for the extension stage rather than treating the initial business plan as if it were already accomplished.
