A limit alone does not resolve the duties analysis. The actual role and business structure must support the qualifying capacity.
Assess the substance of a revision
Do not create a paper authorization solely to imply responsibilities that will not exist.
Avoid treating a high legal bill as evidence the business can support a manager, or a large operating budget as payment of immigration fees. Budget record review and current application charges separately; no document fee can create a qualifying employment period that did not occur. The spending sits in retrieval and analysis: obtaining archived payroll and pension records, translating foreign documents, and paying for a review of a history with several possible readings. A generous budget does not create the qualifying relationship between the two entities, does not make a position primarily managerial or executive, does not supply the continuous qualifying year abroad, and cannot let one employee staff two operations.
