No such general conversion requirement applies. Assess the actual specialized-knowledge role and the applicable extension requirements without importing the L-1A managerial-position test.
Explain the correct role at the later stage
Show the current knowledge-dependent duties and operating business. If the actual role has changed to management, identify that fact for separate assessment rather than assuming either category automatically covers it.
Assess special knowledge of the organization’s products, services or related interests and international application, or advanced knowledge of its processes and procedures. Explain supervision, deliverables and the need for knowledge specific to the petitioning employer. If colleagues know the same process, say so and explain the relevant depth and use of the knowledge. Test the employee’s knowledge independently of whether a method appears in print. A trade certification is general skill available in the labour market. Length of experience and seniority do not establish specialized knowledge. The employee also needs one continuous year of qualifying work abroad during the preceding three years. The analysis concerns qualifying special or advanced company knowledge and the proposed specialized-knowledge work, assessed on the evidence as a whole.
Identify the organizational knowledge used to diagnose or address the issue and how the employee acquired it.
