Provide material changes in duties, authority and support for reassessment rather than relying on an earlier broad description.
Track the actual scope
Identify which function or responsibilities now form the role and what changed. A flexible title does not automatically cover every future assignment. Keep the work and appropriate immigration process aligned.
A replacement agreement may change the applicant’s operational duties or management responsibilities. A future promotion should not be presented as completed authority. The year must be one continuous year of qualifying employment falling within the three years immediately before the petition is filed, so it can slip out of range if the filing keeps being postponed. Confirm the actual approval and status dates from the issued documents, not an assumed timeline. Update the case when workload changes, before an interview, filing, extension, or entry makes the stale description consequential. New offices face a one-year initial approval and must become able to support managerial or executive work during that interval. For a new office, the initial approval is limited to one year and the record must show premises plus capacity to support the role. Track time already spent in L status because L-1A generally has a seven-year maximum.
