Describe decisions, supervision or function management alongside experiments and other delivery work the applicant performs. L-1 requires a continuous foreign employment year with the related enterprise, placed inside the three-year lookback before filing or admission. Establish the essential function, the applicant’s seniority and discretion and the primarily managerial duties under the applicable standard. The transfer also needs one continuous year of qualifying foreign employment during the preceding three years and a parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate relationship between active organizations. The American position must primarily manage or direct instead of delivering routine services, and L-1A stay is capped at seven years.
