The big boy's bring folks in on blanket L-1B's issued at US Consulates (where the bar is pretty low, depending on the visa officer), but when it comes to renewal time, the USCIS in the states denies them. They issue RFE's that start out with basically, "just because you were approved the first time doesn't mean we can readjudicate it now".
At the same time, the L-1B holders who may not be getting the prevailing wage depart the company the first moment they can and apply for an H1B during "cap season".
