Why an EB-1C Visa Could Be Your Fast Track to a Green Card

Understanding the EB-1C Visa

If you're an executive or manager at an international company, the EB-1C visa might be your golden ticket to permanent residency in the U.S. Think of it as a next-level version of the L-1A visa, but with a much faster route to a green card.

EB-1C Visa Requirements

The EB-1C is designed for multinational executives and managers who have spent at least one year in the last three working for the foreign branch of a company. The catch? That company must have a qualifying relationship with a U.S. employer and have been doing business here for at least a year.

EB-1C Advantage: Speed to Green Card

So, what's the big advantage? One word: speed. With the EB-1C, you skip the time-consuming labor certification process that's usually required to sponsor a foreign worker.

Bypassing Labor Certification

That means no wage testing or proving that there aren't any U.S. workers available for the role—steps that can drag out the process for over a year and push applicants into the EB-2 or EB-3 categories.

First-Preference Category Benefits

Instead, EB-1C applicants are in the coveted first-preference category, which could get you to a green card much faster.
