Update the applicant’s actual responsibilities and the evidence of the effective arrangement.
Review whether the change affects primary duties
A revised charter may change who decides or performs the work. Do not submit an obsolete authority description merely because it sounded stronger, and do not assume every governance change requires the same immigration response.
Freeze the facts as of each relevant date rather than blending old and new authority. Compare the former charter, the adopted amendment, its effective date and the applicant's current duty allocation. If the change shifts operational work to the transferee or removes control of an essential function, revise the role analysis and supporting charts before filing. L-1A still requires one continuous year of managerial or executive employment abroad in the preceding three, a qualifying parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate relationship with continuing foreign operations, and a proposed position that is chiefly managerial or executive. For a new office, sufficient premises and the financial ability to remunerate the beneficiary and commence business must be shown, the initial approval period cannot exceed one year, and the business must be able to support the qualifying role within that period; total L-1A stay is capped at seven years. An obsolete document should remain disclosed where relevant, not presented as current.
Hypothetical example: A Bégin renewable-energy equipment maker changes its governance so the plant director loses purchasing approval but gains authority over engineering strategy and two professional teams. Counsel should map duties before and after the resolution, use the effective version in the petition and explain the continuing managerial function. Filing quickly with superseded charts could create a contradiction that the new allocation would have resolved.
