Revisit the duties and the relevance of the employee’s knowledge. Do not assume experience with one instrument proves readiness for every replacement.
Explain what transfers between the two operating arrangements
Some internal process knowledge may remain relevant, while new equipment requires further learning. Describe both accurately and obtain review of material assignment changes before relying on the original filing account.
Do not assume similar subject matter means identical internal processes. Review whether the actual proposed work still relies on the knowledge supporting the L-1B case. Do not assume that knowledge duration waives the separate employment requirement. Identify whether the applicant would leave, continue related work or take on a different assignment. A person may retain broad knowledge while being assigned different work. Distinguish existing qualifying knowledge from learning that has not yet occurred. Do not describe productive installation as a meeting merely because the customer needs the employee immediately. Explain the facts rather than assume that the original language need permanently establishes eligibility.
Keep a chronology that distinguishes completed steps from planned steps, and revisit it before travel, a filing, payment, or a change in duties.
