Explain the actual differences and how existing knowledge applies, if it does. Identify new learning honestly and have the proposed duties assessed.
Do not assume transferability from similar equipment
Similar machines may operate within different company processes. Explain the actual connection rather than claiming equivalence from the equipment name. Review the assignment before relying on evidence for a different process.
Prepare a placement timeline showing remaining L-1B time, assignment dates, client location, petitioner supervision, deliverables, and every change from the approved duties. L-1B still requires company-specific special or advanced knowledge, one continuous qualifying year of employment abroad within the preceding three years, a qualifying organizational relationship, and ongoing business abroad plus either U.S. business or compliance with the initial new-office requirements. When the beneficiary will be stationed primarily at an unaffiliated third-party site, the client must not principally control and supervise the beneficiary, and the placement must relate to a product or service requiring petitioner-specific specialized knowledge rather than supply labour for hire. Assembling the specialized knowledge evidence typically takes longer than the adjudication itself, and requests for additional evidence are common in this category, so build a realistic margin.
