Review the reason and any effect on the actual assignment or evidence rather than assuming knowledge has disappeared.
Explain the actual change
An administrative account change and a changed role can have different implications. Describe current duties accurately and do not promise that either event automatically decides eligibility.
Identify why access stopped before deciding that eligibility changed. Preserve dated records showing the employee’s knowledge and prior projects, then confirm current foreign duties and the tasks planned in the United States. A security suspension, parental leave, or changed assignment can have different consequences; revise the petition only to reflect the actual event. L-1B still requires company-specific special or advanced knowledge, one continuous qualifying year of employment abroad within the preceding three years, a qualifying organizational relationship, and ongoing business abroad plus either U.S. business or compliance with the initial new-office requirements. A new office has an initial one-year period, offsite work must remain controlled by the petitioner, and total L-1B stay ordinarily cannot exceed five years. Do not fabricate live access merely to make the record look current.
Hypothetical example: a Magog pharmaceutical-packaging technician loses her internal account during a company-wide cyber review while continuing to write validation protocols offline. The employer should document the security notice, her retained duties, earlier training, authored protocols, and the U.S. project’s need for the same proprietary validation sequence. If her role truly moved to ordinary maintenance, the plan requires reassessment. If only authentication paused, an honest explanation is stronger than a staged login created for filing.
