Do I lead a global marketing team? EB-1C?

It is important to understand that EB-1 visas are priority categories for top-tier professionals, and the EB-1C, in particular, is intended for multinational executives or managers who intend to transfer to a branch, parent, or subsidiary in the United States.

For the EB-1C, the applicant must prove they have worked outside the country in a managerial or executive position for at least one year within the last three years, in addition to having a job offer from a related company in the US.

If you lead a global marketing team, your role may qualify as managerial, provided your responsibilities include supervising departments or other managers and making strategic decisions independently, rather than performing only a technical function. However, each case has its particularities. For example, merely leading a global marketing team does not automatically guarantee eligibility for the EB-1C. It is necessary to analyze the company´s organizational structure, your specific functions, and the relationship between the foreign company and the entity in the United States.

Thus, if your role is directly related to senior management levels, and the company has the necessary structure to prove effective operation both abroad and in the country, there might be a possibility to fit into this category.

Always remember the importance of following United States immigration laws and seeking support from professionals or specialized consultancies in the field for a more detailed evaluation of your case. Exercise caution to avoid scams and marketing campaigns that promise guaranteed results, as the immigration process is complex and requires strict compliance with current regulations.

I hope this information has helped shed light on the possibility of using the EB-1C visa in your context. Each situation is unique and deserves careful analysis; therefore, consulting a reliable and specialized source is always recommended.
