What Is the EB-1C Visa?
The EB-1C visa is an employment-based immigrant visa for multinational executives and managers who want to live and work permanently in the U.S. To qualify, there must be a specific connection, like a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, between the foreign company where the applicant worked and the U.S. company where they want to transfer.
Who Qualifies for an EB-1C Visa?
There are different requirements depending on whether you’re the employee or the employer:
Employee Requirements
To be eligible, you must have worked for your employer outside the United States for at least one of the three years just before your petition or arrival in the U.S. Your position abroad and your future job in the U.S. must both be executive or managerial level, meaning you primarily manage people, an area of the business, or core functions. Additionally, the transfer must be for a comparable executive or managerial position in the U.S. business branch.
Employer Requirements
The U.S. employer must have a proven qualifying relationship to your previous foreign employer, such as parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate company status. The U.S. business applying for you needs to be actively conducting business and demonstrate the financial and operational capacity to employ you in your new leadership role. The business must be actively operating and not merely a shell or inactive entity.
What Counts as an Executive or Managerial Role?
For the EB-1C visa, the job must be truly high-level to qualify. An executive is someone who sets big-picture company goals, makes major corporate decisions, and oversees a wide area of the business. This often includes establishing policies, shaping long-term strategy, and exercising wide discretion with minimal oversight.
A managerial role involves either supervising and controlling the work of other professional employees or managing an essential function, department, or division of the business. Managerial employees are typically focused on overseeing operations or teams rather than performing day-to-day operational tasks themselves.
