No. Later eligibility depends on the applicable requirements and actual supporting evidence.
Track what the plan produces
Record real business activity, staffing and the applicant’s duties. The end of the initial approval period is not automatically postponed by an unfinished recruitment plan.
Premises must be secured for a new office and capitalisation must be real; the foreign organization must be doing business, while the new U.S. office needs premises and the financial ability to commence business rather than existing operations. Confirm the foreign qualifying year first, document the corporate relationship, secure premises if a new office is involved, and then align contracts, hiring, and petition evidence. No waiting period applies, but assembling the charts and payroll evidence generally takes several weeks, and USCIS processing follows. The employer must complete the corporate evidence, define the position and staff the handover before a petition can be filed, and the applicant’s authority to act in the new role follows from the immigration outcome rather than from the internal approval. The sensible order is to complete the corporate documentation, confirm the American operation's trading record, then file, rather than to file and assemble evidence while a request for evidence is pending.
