EB-1C Visa Qualifications: Do I Meet the Requirements?

The EB-1C visa is designed for multinational executives and managers seeking permanent residency in the United States. It's part of the EB-1 visa category, which is reserved for individuals with extraordinary abilities, outstanding professors, researchers, and certain multinational managers or executives. But what does it take to qualify for the EB-1C visa?

Who Qualifies for the EB-1C Visa?

The EB-1C visa is tailored for foreign executives or managers who have worked for a qualifying multinational company outside the U.S. for at least one year in the past three years. The employment must have been in an executive or managerial role, and the individual must be transferred to the U.S. to continue working in a similar capacity.

Key Qualifications:

  1. Multinational Company: The employer in the U.S. must be affiliated with a foreign company through ownership, joint venture, or other legal agreements.

  2. Managerial or Executive Role: The applicant must have held a managerial or executive role, overseeing a department, function, or significant part of the company's operations.

  3. Full-Time Position: The EB-1C visa requires that the applicant be entering the U.S. to work in a full-time executive or managerial role.

Do You Meet the EB-1C Requirements?

  • Have you worked outside the U.S. for at least one year in the last three years in a qualifying role?

  • Is the company you're working for a multinational organization with a qualifying relationship in the U.S.?

  • Are you being transferred to the U.S. to take on a managerial or executive position in the same company or its affiliate?

If you answered "yes" to these questions, you may meet the qualifications for the EB-1C visa. This visa offers an excellent opportunity for multinational companies to bring experienced leadership to the U.S. while providing a path to permanent residency.
