L1 visa

It seems that to qualify for an L1-A Visa, one has to be employed overseas by the same employer for a year on a full time basis. How would you define "full time"? Does a work schedule of 4 days a week qualify?

Generally speaking, 35 hours each week can be argued to be full time.

For L1, degrees and multiple years of experience are GENERALLY of much lesser importance.
