Position of ‘assistant vice president’ at the bank. EB-1C?

The EB-1C visa is aimed at executives and managers of multinational companies who, after working outside the United States, are transferred to a branch, subsidiary, or affiliate in the U.S. This visa has interesting features, as it waives the requirement for labor certification and can represent an opportunity for individuals in leadership positions within global companies.

In the case of the ‘assistant vice president’ position at a bank, eligibility for the EB-1C will depend mainly on the duties performed within the organization. It is important to prove that this position involves managerial or executive responsibilities – that is, that the professional exercises decision-making power, supervises teams, manages strategic projects, or provides leadership in critical areas of the institution. If such duties are clearly demonstrated and the professional has held this role (or a similar one) for at least one year outside the United States, there may be the possibility of fitting into the EB-1C category.

Furthermore, it is essential that the company maintains a multinational organizational structure, operating both abroad and in the United States, and that the role performed abroad is similar to the position to be assumed in the country. This alignment between responsibilities and the company’s hierarchical structure is one of the key points for the petition analysis.

It is worth emphasizing that each case has its particularities. The analysis of eligibility for the EB-1C involves a thorough evaluation of the position, the company structure, and evidence proving executive or managerial functions. Therefore, it is crucial that interested parties strictly follow U.S. immigration laws, seek updated information from official sources, and consider the importance of consulting specialized professionals on the matter, always attentive to avoid scams or unfounded promises of quick results.
