I recently asked my firm if I could be sponsored for a GC after working there for a year. I was an international transfer (permanently transferred, current employee for the US firm) and am currently on an L1-A visa. Their response was that I need to be "localized" before I could apply. I followed-up to clarify and they haven't responded yet, doesn't anyone have any idea what that means?

HR / firms come up with all sorts of bullsh*t. Push them harder.

I was a new employees of 6 months to my previous company with a bachelor's. I asked for them to enter me into the H1B Lottery. They said they could not do it because my education and job wasn't specialized or high enough, which is a blatant lie.

localized means you have to be a permanent transferee, not secondee. if you did permanent transfer then you are localized by default. u have to wait 1 year from the date you moved. search HQ for permanent residence for more information on immigration

When you moved did you formally resign from the home firm?

Yes I did! I think they are probably just confused
