Attorney Evan Hunt recently represented a company and their international transferee who had initially entered the United States as an L-1B holder under a Blanket L Petition. After some time, he was promoted to a managerial role. Given the fact that his new role was materially different from the initial role, a change of status from L-1B to L-1A was necessary. Attorney Hunt worked to highlight the client’s new responsibilities and oversight duties and successfully secured a change of status to the L-1A category as a manager. This strategic move not only aligned with the client’s career advancement but also supported the company’s growth and innovation efforts in the pharmaceutical sector.
