Training expenses describe preparation, not necessarily a completed change in authority or duties.
Review what changed in practice
Identify the actual responsibilities staff assumed. Neither course fees nor professional preparation charges guarantee that the L-1A role standard is met.
Extension filings on their own cycle with charges taken from the current fee schedule, annual accounting for two entities, legal review whenever the corporate structure or the role changes, and eventually the cost of whatever succeeds the assignment when the maximum is reached. Consult the USCIS fee schedule for current amounts rather than relying on figures from a previous filing; fees change and some, such as the asylum program fee, depend on the petitioner's size. A cost allocation alone does not prove that the proposed primarily managerial or executive role is supported, and it is separate from official immigration charges. Separate temporary foreign coverage, American payroll, premises, recruitment, preparation, travel, and government charges, recording who owes each amount and when. Clarify whether changed provider arrangements would require additional professional work before assuming the original scope includes them. Budget corporate-document retrieval, translations, petition preparation and the government charges currently shown in Form G-1055 separately from royalty or franchise amounts. The start-up costs are evidence of the subsidiary's capacity to support a managerial role; the filing costs are government and professional fees that prove nothing about the business.
