EB-1C Visa for Corporate Transfers
The EB-1C visa is preferred when international companies transfer a senior executive or manager to the United States. This usually happens when the company already has an office in the US or is expanding there and needs someone they trust to assume responsibility.
What is an EB-1C Visa?
Simply put, the EB-1C visa is an employment-based immigrant visa for multinational companies.
It is not based on awards or public recognition. It is based on the person’s role within the company and the relationship between the foreign and U.S. entities.
Who Can Qualify?
To qualify for the EB 1C visa, a few basic conditions must be met.
First, the person must have worked outside the United States for at least one year in the past three years. That job must have been in a managerial or executive position.
Second, they must be coming to the United States to work in a similar high level role.
Third, there must be a clear connection between the foreign company and the U.S. company. For example, they may be parent and subsidiary companies, branches of the same business, or affiliated entities.
When these elements are properly documented, the EB 1C visa can provide a direct path to permanent residence for international business leaders who continue their careers within the same organization in the United States.
