Can USCIS visit the company during an EB-1C case?

Yes. In an EB-1C case, USCIS may conduct site visits to the company’s premises as part of verifying the information submitted. It is a verification tool to confirm that the actual operation matches what was described in the documents.

During such a visit, the goal is typically to confirm that the operations, managerial role, and corporate structure are consistent with the petition: whether the company is genuinely operating, whether the leadership position exists, and whether the link between the U.S. and foreign operations is coherent. These inspections do not happen automatically in every case, but they can occur, especially when there are points that need clarification.

The best preparation, therefore, is consistency between what was declared and actual practice. It helps to maintain:

• Organized and up-to-date documentation about operations.
• Clear records of the organizational structure and leadership roles.
• Coherence between the petition and how the company actually functions.

Accurate information and transparency facilitate any verification. If questions arise or data needs to be updated, it is worth working with a specialist to navigate the process with confidence.
