Can I apply for L1A if all of my reports will be my team in India?

Answer

There is no specific requirement that an L1A manager or executive have reports in the United States. In practice, however, it tends to be much more challenging to achieve approval for a case where the L1A beneficiary does not have anyone in the U.S. to relieve them from performing non-qualifying duties.
