The client is a key manager at a Chinese manufacturing company who has long been responsible for overseas sales, supply chain, and team management. After the company set up a U.S. subsidiary, it wanted the client to go to the United States to lead team building, client development, supply chain coordination, and overall operations.

The client's original position was closer to that of a business lead, so the client's management authority and reporting team had to be re-examined to fit the immigration law definition of a "manager."

We mapped the client's position at the overseas company, the team reporting to the client, and the actual scope of the client's decision-making. Combined with the U.S. company's organizational structure and business plan, we shifted the emphasis of the job description from business execution to management decisions.

L-1A approved.
