Wanted to start a list here for fellow Indians, of companies that will set you up for an EB1-C green card application, by letting you work outside the US as a manager for 1 year, to meet the EB1-C eligibility requirements. Please help me by adding to the list, if the EB1-C route is possible in your company.
A greencard is the biggest bottleneck in changing jobs, earning more, and progressing in your career, but Indians have an 80 year wait currently in the EB-2 and EB-3 pools due to racist per-country quotas.
I'll start with Google. It's possible, but you'll have to take all the initiative. You won't be supported at the company level, so it will very much depend on your management chain, and your relationships. Working abroad, and then returning back will likely involve changing teams (or at least subteams), and you'll have to build strong relationships internally over time to be able to do that. A blind team transfer might also be possible but more risky in my view. Recommended to be at least L5, but being a manager is much easier at L6, when team changes are involved.
TC: 600k
GC status: Heading to Zurich next month, for a year or two. See you all back in 2024 hopefully. (EB-2 is already approved, since Google files day 1 EB-2. Unfortunately, it will be the year 2100 by the time I'll get a GC with the approved EB-2 application due to racist quotas, if I were to just hang around.)

2. Do you have reports?
3. Do you plan to get reports in ZRH? If not, planning to come back as functional manager?
4. Is moving to Waterloo and working remotely not beneficial in your case?
5. What material is needed for G's EB1? I've heard of a word document being given to fill but not sure.. There was a question on visa-discuss@ about this document a while back someone asking about TL duty evidence
Goodluck with the visa/GC processes.
You become an intl manager u get EB1. Simple.
How long does it take to become a manager -before- you think of that international transfer?
This way is the biggest loophole is EB1 GC
I was asking rhetorical questions.
