This may be historical and therefore inapproriate.
I have a friend who works for a US Multinational and has travelled
around the world with them, he entered the US with his family earlier
this year and I sought of assumed that he must be on a H1B. In
converstaion he said that he had obtained his Green Card many years ago,
and because he worked for a this US Multinational he was allowed to keep
it and did not have to start again.
