EB1C: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

[@Sagar-USNJ]

Some corrections- In your scenario If Srini promoted to manager in US , he can’t file under EB1c. If he is already manager or executive in Bangalore before moving to US he will be eligible for EB1C.

[@TheH1BGuy]

@LAKVS77 my understanding is only the "intention" to employee in managerial or executive capacity with at least one year in the proceeding three years working in the international office was the minimum requirement.

[@KiaraLeeOfficial]

AMAZING VIDEO. subed right away ! Can one from entrepreneur parole change to eb1c? With an assumption the person started the business outside the US for a year before the entrepreneur parole in the US.

[@TheH1BGuy]

@Kiara I'm uncertain, but I'm leaning towards no. You would have to have worked in a Managerial capacity in the international office for at least a year before coming to the US and working for the same employer in similar role. Completely separate from EB5 qualifications.

[@KiaraLeeOfficial]

@@TheH1BGuy thanks for the reply! Ok then perhaps the best way is to change from L1 to eb1c i guess. Even though L1 can be touch to get as a tiny startup owner :)

@Ingit if the appropriate acquisition documentation can be provided and you've worked for at least a year in the international office it might be possible.

What if the employee has played managerial role for company other than the petitioning employer and has the proof can that H1b candidate apply for eb1c ?

@SAPFreak managerial role must have been with same petitioning employer in their international office. Hope this helps.

Our family filed 140 and 485 at the same time in 2017, and we just got approved for the 140 like 3 months ago. I wonder how long it takes us to be approved for 485. And what are the odds that we get reject.

[@TheH1BGuy]

@Samuel it took 4 years for USCIS to approve your I140? That's crazy! Most recent information I've seen has I485 approvals at just above 90%. So good odds you won't be rejected.

But does L-1A and EB1-C have go together? I'm on F1 OPT working for multinational software company as Manager position, can't I apply for EB1-C?

hi, if i have a company in the US more than 1 year, but I'm living in Germany not in the US and i never apply to any Business Visas , can i apply for EB1C Visa? so as i have a company in Germany I'm the manger in my Company. thank you

[@TheH1BGuy]

You must have worked as manager internationally for one year, prior to coming to the US on a work visa (H1B or L1 most likely) and your employer sponsors you for employment based preferences.

[@khalidalkhodier9139]

@@TheH1BGuy thank you for the answer, i have a company in Germany and i'm working in my Company so i'm the manger, can i apply for a EB1C visa? or i have to find anther visa? which visa it will work the best for me and in the same time it will has a path for Green Card? thank you

@@khalidalkhodier9139 I think L1A would be the best option for you to come the US, then your employer could sponsor your EB1C. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the video. So if I apply for eb1c in my fourth year after entering the USA, I will not be eligible for this?

[@TheH1BGuy]

Has nothing to do with it. Must have been a Manager or above for your employer in their international office for at least one year prior to coming to the US.

Can I apply EB1c to my employee while he is still in his country and working to the us company for about 5 years?

[@raviteja6698]

As a manager for EB1c do applicant need to manage employees in home country or employees in Usa remotely ?

[@TheH1BGuy]

@Ravi it can be either. Need one year of document managerial experience working in the international office.

[@raviteja6698]

@@TheH1BGuy thank you just to make sure international is not usa right? In my case managing us office remotely works so hopefully I am eligible

Hi, Very useful video thank you, especially the scenarios. Just a quick one, the line on USCIS says - "You must have been employed outside the United States for at least 1 year in the 3 years preceding the petition or the most recent lawful nonimmigrant admission if you are already working for the U.S. petitioning employer.". Does the later part from "or the most recent....." mean you can work as a manager in US too to be eligible (assuming you have come on a L1A)?

[@TheH1BGuy]

@shardul thank you for checking out my video! My understanding has always been that you must have been a manager while working outside the US for at least one year in the previous three years and the intention of being employed in a managerial capacity in the US in order to qualify.

So I don't need any employees at all to be able to apply for L1a visa right? I only need to have worked as the manager of my real estate company for at least 1 year. And for EB1C I'll need to have worked in the U.S for at least 1 year.

If I have been in USA for goood 4-5 years and then more to canada as a people manager and work for a year in Canada for a year.... Am I eligible?

[@TheH1BGuy]

Possibly assuming this is accurate for your employer: "Your petitioning employer must be a U.S. employer and intend to employ you in a managerial or executive capacity. The petitioner must have been doing business in the U.S. for at least 1 year, as a legal entity with a qualifying relationship to the entity that employed you abroad in a managerial or executive capacity"
