Need Urgent Help for L1A Interview - Am in Human Resources

[Mamtu]

Hi,
I am due to attend a L1A interview next week and would really appreciate some help:
As per the USCIS website, "Managerial capacity generally refers to the ability of the employee to supervise and control the work of professional employees and to manage the organization, or a department, subdivision, function, or component of the organization. It may also refer to the employee’s ability to manage an essential function of the organization at a high level, without direct supervision of others".
As per my understanding one does not necessarily have had been supervising employees in the current role but has to be of a managerial capacity in the role in the US. I have been with my organization for 7 years all through in Human Resources. As opposed to most people with a technical background, I manage and provide strategic advise to more than 70 managers & executives from the HR function for these businesses but do not have employees currently reporting directly into me. In my new role I will again singehandedly manage a large HR function and manage supervisors who in turn have 500 employees but no direct reports under me
I have been reading people's posts and honestly I am confused as to how to answer the following and any help would be much appreciated!!
(1) How many people are reporting to me now? or How many people do I manage directly?
(2) Do I have hire and fire authority as a manager? (I do work with managers to hire the right talent & can fire employees along with them - they too can't do that without me, in new role I will provide that direction as well)
(3) How long have I been working as a manager?
(4) % of time spent on managerial activities
(5) Titles of people I supervise

1) Reporting does not mean peoplesoft reporting - as long as you supervise them its fine.
2) Yes - you guide people in their day to day work - so that would imply that if they do a bad job; you can fire them...similarly you have the right to hire a Manager in the HR team under you.
3) You have to have been working for at least 1 yr to be eligible for L1A
4) Give a break-up of the responsibilities you have, mention the tasks u do under each...and the time spent on them...going by your post looks like close to 100% of your time is spent doing Managerial stuff
5) The people who you guide; mention their titles

In case of any queries please send me a pvt message
