L1A Blanket rejected- Management Consultant
Hi All,
I am unsure if this topic has been covered before but here goes.
My firm, a global management consulting firm, applied for an L1A Blanket visa for me. I have spent over 3 years with the firm and got a promotion but as is the case with all consulting firms, I do not have direct reports and do not manage a budget. My role in my previous career, ironically, had both requirements but as a consultant I do not. However, my immigration lawyers felt it was the right visa to apply for and not L1B.
My interview was in August and my application was rejected. At first i thought there was something wrong with the way i gave the interview, but with time i started to feel the visa they applied for was incorrect given my role.
My firm has now agreed to apply through individual and will commence the process shortly. Before i invest any further time, I was hoping to get a few answers from this seasoned audience on the following:
1. Should i apply for L1B individual or stick with L1A itself
2. For those management consultants in the audience who have successfully applied through L1A, could they please share their experience in terms of application and what all details they shared while building the application
3. In general, is there any further documentation that you should share while filing an individual petition
4. If you do get an RFE, what additional documents do you share with USCIS
Looking forward to hearing your responses. Thanks.
