L-1A RFE, asking for L-1b Amendment

[l1btol1a]

Hi Seniors,

Please suggest me on my L-1A RFE.

I came to US on L-1B and this is going to expire on October 2012. My Employer filed for L-1A (Premium Proc) and got RFE regarding L-1B amendment. My employer explained my Functional Manager duties in employer support letter which I am already performing but we never filed an amendment for L-1B for my Functional Manager duties. Now, USCIS is asking that If I want to qualify for L-1A, I need to perform the Managerial duties atleast 6 months in US. And the USCIS saying, If I am already performing the Managerial duties then provide the L-1B Amendment as a proof of my duties. FYI, my employer filed my change of status to L-1A before 2 months of expiring my L-1B.

Is this difficult to convince the Officer or is something easy to explain?

Please suggest.

Thank you,

Kiran

Kiran,

Any updates on your case? Did you file L1B amendment? Did it get approved? Where your case stands now?

Actually, We haven't filed for L-1B amendment due to some valid reasons. Same thing we explained when we replied to RFE and it got approved.
