kishore1.kandukuri Posted December 10, 2012 Report Posted December 10, 2012 My petition is expiring by June,2013 so I am going to apply for L1A extension. Please clarify on below qiuestions. 1) I have 4 direct aubordinates under me. Out of these 2 are Bachelor in Engineering,one is MCA(Masters in Computer Applications) and one is B.com(Bachelor of Commerce). Is it ok to apply for my L1A extesnsion with these 4 subordinates? I heard level 1 manager can apply for L1A only if subordinates being managed are professional. So in above case can I say all 4 are professional.. does "Bachelor of Commerce " come under professional degree? 2)Also is it mandatory that I need somebody as my subordinate who is on L1A? 3)Is it true that putting only 4 subodinates will lead to mostly an RFE? How are the L1A extensions are going in these days? are they going more for RFEs?
Attorney_23 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 In order for a position to be considered "professional," it typically must require a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Just because a person holds a degree, this does not necessarily make the position professional in nature. (e.g. A fry cook with a PhD!) A person in L1A status does not have to supervise someone who is on L1A. If that were a requirement, how would the supervised L1A worker qualify for the L1A? In any case, there is no strict number of subordinates a person in L1A must have. In fact, some L1A managers or executives have zero subordinates. But, this depends upon the job duties, responsibilities, etc. You may wish to schedule a consult with an attorney to review the details of your case and advise you accordingly.
kishore1.kandukuri Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Posted December 12, 2012 Hi Thank you for the clarifications. So is there any way to know whether "Bachelor of Commerce " comes under professional degree or not?

t75 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 This is a problem/question for your employer's attorney. It should have been directed to him long ago
