Hi friends,
I need help to understand if I qualify under L1A category. Please read below:
- I currently manage the India operations of a US based company for the last 3.5 years. There are more than 20 engineers across various functions reporting to me. I directly report to the founders of the company in USA. Our parent company in the US is more than 20 years old and has more than 100 employees.
- In addition to managing the office in India, I also am responsible for business development in the SE Asia and Australia territory.
- I started the India operations from scratch (with the only employee) and grew it to the current size. Before this too, my experience has been similar.
- My company wishes to move me to USA. My potential role there would be to explore a new territory by doing market research, use my technical and business knowledge to find out if our product is suitable for variety of industry sectors in this territory, pass on suggestions to the R&D team to implement new features in the product to make it applicable for the new industry sectors, meet potential customers and make value propositions, sell our product to them, and finally grow the business with the customer and other customers. Potentially, there will be a new office in this territory, and a few engineers reporting to me. Until this office is opened, I will get support from engineers in our headquarters (in a different territory, but in USA).
Do I qualify for L1A? Experts, please comment. If any lawyers have processed such cases, I will be happy to ask my company to consult you.
