I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!

Hi Peter, do I currently need to be employed by a company for them to sponsor my L-1 (provided I worked for them outside the US for "one continuous year within the three years immediately preceding")?

You don't currently need to be employed by the company abroad; you just need to have been employed with the company for one year out of the past three, as you note.
