Clarification on L-1A org structure (Can a L-1B reporting to me have subordinates?)

[userbglr365]

Hi immian's

I have my L-1A visa interview coming up. My documents / org structure were all verified by my company travel dept. I have shown 5 direct reports and 11 indirect reports in the org chart. Now while I was discussing this with another friend, he told that in the Org structure that out of the 5 direct reports I have shown, 4 are on L-1B - Can this be a problem?

The functional title for them is Project Lead and the visa type is L-1B. Is there any rule that L-1Bs cannot have any one reporting to them at onsite? These guys have been there for a long time and I will be going for a program manager position.

Can someone clarify this asap.

Thanks

The immigrant status of your reports, direct or indirect, is irrelevant. As long as you can provide evidence that they are skilled professionals (have a Bsc or higher), you are good to go.
