The case needs the actual US proposal, resource commitments and primary duties.
Explain how the resources reach the operation
A balance-sheet total may include assets unavailable for the proposed staffing. Identify genuine support without assuming every group asset can fund the first-year plan.
The regulations define managerial capacity to include an employee who manages an essential function within the organization, exercises discretion over its day-to-day operations and works at a senior level in the hierarchy. Where the successor comes from a different part of the group, confirm that the employing entity abroad is itself a qualifying related company and that the year of employment falls within the relevant preceding three-year period. Supervising non-professional employees is treated as managerial only when the role also carries authority over personnel decisions and discretion over the operation, or when the person manages an essential function rather than the workers. L-1A requires duties that are primarily managerial or executive; sharing a subject does not disqualify two managers, but duplicated titles and unsupported authority do not prove either role. The file still needs to show genuine qualifying employment, a qualifying corporate relationship, and that the U.S. role is primarily managerial or executive, with the ownership stake disclosed and assessed on its own facts rather than treated as an automatic bar.
