Key Eligibility Points

Balance three threads: company affiliation, prior service, and U.S. role.

  • Affiliation: parent/subsidiary/branch or group control; continuous operations during filing and adjudication.
  • Prior Service: at least one year abroad as manager/executive within the past three years before filing.
  • U.S. Role: continue managerial/executive duties (people/function/enterprise-level management).
  • Scale & Feasibility: reasonable org layers and staffing to support span of control and role substance.

Employer & Role Materials

Evidence centers on genuine operations plus functional management.

  • Organization & Reporting: org charts, job descriptions, direct/indirect reports, and outsourcing disclosures.
  • Operational Proof: financials, tax returns, contracts, bank records, office and hiring records.
  • Management Evidence: appointments, performance reviews, budgets and strategic documents (with sensitivity handled).
  • Domestic Strategy: concurrent I-485 when current; otherwise prioritize I-140 to secure place in line.

Process

1. Eligibility Assessment

review company structure, prior service and U.S. role; issue risk and timeline recommendations.

2. Document Preparation

org charts and role descriptions, management evidence, operational and compliance documents.

3. File I-140

prepare legal arguments and evidence packages; when current, consider concurrent I-485 (domestic).

4. RFE/Interview

FAQ

Do I need L-1A before applying for EB-1C?

No. L-1A is common for preliminary work in the U.S., but not a prerequisite. The core is the qualifying relationship, prior service, and U.S. role.

How large must the company be?

There is no fixed headcount threshold, but the company must support genuine managerial/executive duties and span of control. Org charts and role allocations should match business scale.

When can I file I-140 and I-485 concurrently?

When visa numbers are current (see Visa Bulletin) and you are in the U.S., you may file concurrently and typically obtain EAD/AP; consular cases proceed separately.
