Does the American company need to have a minimum revenue for EB-1C?

The EB-1C visa is intended for executives and managers being transferred from a multinational company to an affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company in the United States. This type of visa primarily focuses on the corporate relationship and managerial knowledge transfer, unlike other visas that emphasize aspects such as extraordinary abilities or financial investments.

Regarding the minimum revenue requirement, there is no fixed or specific parameter that determines that the American company must present a minimum revenue to qualify for the EB-1C. What is essential in this process is that the American company is effectively operating and maintaining a corporate relationship with the foreign company, proving business continuity and the necessity to maintain a management or executive team.

It is important to demonstrate that the business structure supports the executive role to be performed by the beneficiary. Furthermore, although there is no stipulated minimum revenue, the company must be able to prove that it is financially active and viable to sustain the operations for which the executive or manager was designated.

Immigration officers look for evidence that the corporate move between companies is legitimate and reflects a real operational need, without adhering to predefined revenue rules. It is reinforced the importance of strictly following U.S. immigration laws and seeking advice from official sources or specialized immigration professionals to fully understand the requirements and avoid falling for easy promises or marketing campaigns guaranteeing results.

This way, it is possible to conduct the process safely and in accordance with current regulations.
