Sdruvss,
I think we are getting somewhere with this discussion. It is important to reach agreement on known facts. It is important to know what is known, and also to know what is unknown.

In any jurisdiction with which I am familiar, ATC has the authority to clear any aircraft to any flight level they wish in any airspace they control. They may be limited in their offers by their own internal procedures, but that is not apparent to their contract partners (the pilots of aircraft using their airspace under IFR).
You keep bringing up this issue of RVSM. I don't think either ATC Watcher or marciovp think it is relevant, and I
certainly don't. Why do *you* think it is relevant?
