Bronx Immigration Lawyer L-1 New Office Approval after Rfe

Under 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(l)(3)(v), a U.S. Entity operating for less than one year must demonstrate secured premises, realistic business projections, and the immediate need for an executive or managerial employee

USCIS closely reviewed whether the petitioning company could sustain operations beyond its initial startup phase while supporting a managerial level transferee.

The Bronx immigration lawyer structured the petition to align these federal requirements with New York corporate formation records and lease documentation.

Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(44)(A), an L-1A manager must supervise professional employees or manage an essential function within the organization.

The legal team provided a detailed breakdown of decision making authority, budget oversight, and personnel planning, supported by internal policies and reporting structures.

By clearly separating strategic management functions from daily operational tasks, the Bronx immigration lawyer demonstrated compliance with statutory definitions.

The response included a revised organizational chart, detailed job duty matrix, and a business growth plan consistent with 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(l)(3) requirements.

Financial projections were corroborated with New York tax registrations, bank statements, and commercial lease agreements executed under New York law.

The legal memorandum directly cited federal regulations while contextualizing the company’s operations within the New York commercial environment.

The principal applicant received L-1A status, while the spouse and children were issued L-2 visas pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(l)(7).

Because the petition was fully documented and legally sound, the family qualified for interview waiver processing.

This outcome underscores how a Bronx immigration lawyer can effectively navigate heightened scrutiny while ensuring full compliance with U.S. Immigration law.
