Hi, I received a full-time offer to work as a software engineer at a company in the Bay Area after my graduation in May 2018. They are willing to sponsor my H-1B, but I am also looking into other options in case I don't get it. Now, I am an undergraduate student in the UK. I am also finalizing the contract with the same company for remote part-time work (20 hours/week) during my final academic year (around 9 months of work). I would be on the EU Payroll of the same company. Could this remote part-time work count for a L-1 visa? Thanks

No, unfortunately. For employment to count toward the year of qualifying employment for L-1 purposes, it needs to be full-time and the individual needs to be employed as an employee not as an independent contractor.
