I am appointed in mumbai - INDIA in X company as electrical engineer in March-2014

My X company has plants / factory in U.S.A.

There have been successful cases where the person was on a training visa in US and subsequently was eligible for L1 too. Check with your attorney.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
