Hi everyone! Currently, I’m a Senior 3 in audit outside of US. I received an offer EY San Jose for Manager 1 position with starting date in September. I have a question regarding the visa. I’m applying for L-1A visa, but don’t have 1 year of manager position. However, I worked as acting Manager on several accounts this year. Is there anyone who had similar experience? I’d like to know what are my chances for L-1A visa. Thank you in advance :)

When you say “you’re applying”, you mean EY is? Guess it’s up to them and the lawyers on how they’re going to frame your petition because I don’t understand how it’s otherwise possible

This is the correct answer.

Make sure you talk to your legal team and understand very well how they frame the L1A petition as you'll be asked at the interview how many people you will manage, if you can make hiring/firing decisions, etc. But you should be fine.

The whole "1 year managerial experience outside of the US" is more for the GC application to skip the PERM process, not to get an L1A visa. In your case you'll have to go through PERM even if you are on L1A (I was in a similar case when I transferred to the US).

like

I have studied this in depth. Being a functional manager I.e. Several accounts will not qualify you for an L1A. This ain't the definition of a functional manager l. No matter how you frame the petition, the scope of visa is extremely narrow and the RFE will most likely lead to rejection.

How long does it usually take for visa team to prepare application for L-1A visa? It’s been more than 3 weeks already
