Describe the current allocation and the supported future arrangement accurately. Do not portray proposed delegation as completed evidence of the present role.
Review the role at the relevant stage
Identify remaining tasks, who is expected to assume them and the evidence behind that expectation. New-office L-1A rules require the operation to support a managerial or executive role within one year, with an initial approval maximum of one year. Other filing circumstances need their own role assessment. An internal timetable does not automatically satisfy those conditions or extend authorized stay.
A timing review should tie each business date to the record that permits the next step, leaving room to correct a material inconsistency before travel or work begins. Check the qualifying relationship and the continuous qualifying foreign year within the preceding three years separately from the proposed role. The seven-year L-1A ceiling may change the business decision even where the role evidence is persuasive. Hypothetical example: a grain-storage company delays hiring after its manager arrives to open the first U.S. site.
That order avoids committing the business to a date before the relevant condition is documented.
