the last three years in order to qualify for this type of temporary visa.

for making decisions that set or implement company policy; their initial three-year
visas may be renewed twice for two years, enabling them to remain at work in the US
uninterrupted for up to seven years.
Employees with specialized knowledge also qualify under the L1 program. Any employee
who possesses detailed knowledge of a company's operations or products may qualify
for this status, granting them an initial visit of three years, renewable once for a
total potential stay of five years.

for at least one year before they may apply again for an L1 stay in the US.
