Who Qualifies for an EB-1C Visa?

At Labrada Dume & Associates, we assist immigrants seeking to live and work in the United States through various visa programs, including the EB-1C visa for multinational managers and executives. This visa category provides a pathway to permanent residency for individuals who meet specific qualifications.


Understanding the EB-1C Visa


The EB-1C visa is designed for certain employees of multinational companies who wish to transfer to a U.S. office as managers or executives. Unlike other employment-based visa categories, the EB-1C does not require labor certification, making it a streamlined option for those who qualify.


Eligibility Requirements


To qualify for an EB-1C visa, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Employment with a Qualifying Company: The applicant must have been employed by a multinational company for at least one year within the three years before applying.
  • Managerial or Executive Role: The applicant must have served in a managerial or executive capacity for the foreign company and must continue in a similar role with the U.S. entity.
  • Qualifying U.S. Company: The U.S. employer must have been operating for at least one year and have a qualifying corporate relationship with the foreign entity, such as a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate.
  • Permanent Job Offer: The U.S. company must offer the applicant a permanent position as a manager or executive.


Benefits of the EB-1C Visa


  • Pathway to Green Card: The EB-1C is an immigrant visa, meaning successful applicants can obtain lawful permanent residency (Green Card).
  • No Labor Certification Required: Unlike other employment-based visas, the EB-1C does not require proving that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position.
  • Family Inclusion: Spouses and unmarried children under 21 can also apply for Green Cards.
