L1a rfe

[sarhar1682]

Hi All,

My L1A status recently got changed to RFE and I am waiting for notice for the same.
So, wanted to check about kind of RFEs being received nowadays, kind of response/ evidence that needs to be submitted, any tips for filing the response etc.
Will be helpful if anyone who has already gone through the process can share the experience.

Thanks.

Firstly, good luck with your case. RFEs are very common with L1As and don’t let it frustrate you. Just wait for the response to understand what is needed. I really don’t think there ever is a certain trend so I don’t think anybody can answer your question about what kind of an rfe it can be. You would just need to wait until you receive the notice and read it. I recently went through an rfe for a new office extension and it was mainly focusing on managerial duties. We drafted a letter more than 50 pages long detailing my managerial duties etc. Most common rfes with L1As are usually about proving that you are a manager or an executive. Good luck!

Thanks Mertc. Hope your petition got approved after submitting RFE response.
Also, wanted to know when you received RFE notice after status change ?

[Mertc]

sarhar1682 Thanks. Yes I received the approval couple weeks ago and it was a huge relief! Hope the same for you. I had applied for extension in early October and received RFE late Jan. So it took around 4 months. Then we converted my case to premium and received approval in 3 days.

Hi Mertc . I am in the process to gather more information the L1A for the new office. Is it possible to connect via DM so that I can learn from your experience, attorney information etc. I appreciate your help.

[Mertc]

Just to update, I have got my L1A Individual petition approved. Would be great, if members here can share about Visa Interview experiences and Visa slots availability nowadays.

Mertc : Any update on your Visa Interview ?

Thanks.

Congratulations Sarhar on your L1A approval; I am about to submit my L1A Individual docs;did your attorney share what the RFE about?

[sarhar1682]

Thanks RM2017. You will be submitting RFE response or fresh petition ? I went through the RFE myself and it was mainly related to providing evidence of managerial duties - hiring/ firing, approvals such as timesheet, visa, leave etc of reportees, Educational docs/ Pay slips of India and US reportees. Then some questions related to customer account I am handling in terms of revenue.

Hi Sarhar, I have submitted fresh L1A indv docs today to attorney; Not quite sure how we will show that timesheet approvals as in my org there is no workflow as such to approve time sheets; and also we hire people from pool or from contractors(consultancies) any pointers how should we show that as hiring/firing? I do have India reportees for US position - my org attorney didnt ask many of the details(seems like RFE on cards!!! how long it took to turn your case into RFE? seems like 3-4 months normal due to covid.
