The actual duties and applicable established-office or new-office requirements need assessment; a title alone does not answer the question.
Describe the work honestly
Identify the extent and purpose of operational tasks and the basis for future support. Do not assume every launch arrangement meets L-1A requirements. A useful L-1A review produces an operating map rather than a title-based résumé.
Identify the related foreign and U.S. organizations, the applicant’s overseas dates and capacity, the current U.S. staffing, and the decisions the applicant will make.
Then ask who will perform sales, delivery, administration, and technical work. Hypothetical example: a geothermal-drilling company proposes to move its regional director to oversee a U.S. launch, but the director will personally prepare every bid and manage each installation for the first eight months.
The file must assess whether that operational workload leaves a primarily managerial or executive position, not merely call it strategy. The foreign employment must be a qualifying continuous year during the prior 36 months, and the organizations must have the required relationship and active business. For a new office, projected growth must be supported by premises, finances, and a credible plan capable of supporting the intended role within the first year.
Resolve these facts before selecting job titles or creating charts. The review should end with a decision about established-office or new-office treatment and a record list for the next filing stage.
