No. Document the actual relevant employment period and duties. A current title does not rewrite earlier responsibilities.
Keep the chronology truthful
Identify genuine changes and the proposed U.S. role separately. A preferred filing or move date cannot create missing historical facts.
The qualifying parent-subsidiary relationship must exist when the petition is filed, the twelve months of qualifying employment abroad must be complete, and the evidence must show that the U.S. role will be primarily executive rather than operational. Recapture is arithmetic: days genuinely spent outside the United States during the L period do not consume the seven years, so careful travel records can return real months to an executive who has been crossing the border regularly. Chart the qualifying foreign year, petition stage, premises availability, initial one-year new-office period, hiring milestones, and extension evidence deadlines. 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.
