When we talk about the EB-1 visa, it is important to understand that it has different categories. One of the most well-known is the EB-1C – intended for executives and managers of multinational companies seeking a transfer to a U.S. company. In this context, there are specific criteria regarding the nature and level of the functions performed.
In the case of having worked in digital marketing supervision, it is essential to analyze whether the activities performed fit the management profile required by the EB-1C. Generally, this visa requires that the applicant have held a managerial or executive position at the company abroad, with responsibilities involving strategic decision-making, team supervision, and control of crucial departments or functions within the organization.
If your role in digital marketing involved a leadership position, with supervision of a team and significant decisions that impacted the company’s operation – especially if you held a managerial position within a multinational – there may be a possibility of fitting the criteria. However, if the role was more technical and operational, without the administrative and executive features required, this practice may not align with the EB-1C requirements.
It is worth emphasizing the importance of strictly following U.S. immigration laws and seeking specialized guidance for a detailed evaluation of your case. Consulting competent professionals can help identify whether your functions fit the criteria or if another path within EB-1 or another category may be more appropriate. And, of course, it is prudent to avoid falling for promises of easy results or services that are not in compliance with official regulations, ensuring that all provided documentation and information are accurate and complete.
Maintaining formality and rigor in the analysis is essential to proceed safely and properly in the immigration process. If there are specific doubts about how your functions may be interpreted in the context of the EB-1C, consultation with renowned experts in the field is a recommended step to guide your planning safely and effectively.
