There is no thumb rule with respect to number of subordinates etc. A Manager designation, or doing people management are not by itself enough to get L1-A. L1-A is for There are several other criteria involved, some of them being, does the job require a Manager, one should also be managing /supervising and control the work of professional employees (both US and abroad) and managing the organization, or a department, subdivision, function, or component of the organization in day to day work. Where does one fit in US/organization hierarchy? etc. Bulk of the RFEs are centered around the proof about these. If you indeed qualify for an l1-A a competent attorney should be able to guide and prepare the case. This is my opinion not legal advice.
