No. Assess actual permission and required steps before relying on the commercial schedule. Government timing is not controlled by the release plan.
Review changes to the work
If the transition changes duties, supervision or site, explain the actual arrangement. An earlier assignment description may not answer the revised proposal.
A delayed equipment commissioning date at the U.S. plant changes when the specialized-knowledge work can actually begin, and the petition or status timeline should be reassessed against the real schedule rather than the original one. If the business adopts a new method or the employee's proposed U.S. duties change, document the change and have it reviewed rather than relying on the original filing to cover a different set of facts. Confirm the qualifying corporate relationship and one continuous year of eligible foreign employment during the preceding three years, then obtain the required petition approval or status before productive installation begins. If the revised job is ordinary technical support using general industry skills, the original approval theory may no longer fit; preserving it unchanged is the common mistake.
