No. There is no fixed minimum revenue that the U.S. company must reach to qualify for the EB-1C, the green card category for executives and managers transferred within the same corporate group. The visa focuses on the corporate relationship and the transfer of leadership, not on a revenue threshold.

What the analysis actually looks for is that the U.S. company is genuinely operating and is capable of sustaining the role for which the executive has been assigned. Rather than a revenue figure, the factors that carry weight are:

  • A legitimate corporate link between the foreign entity and the U.S. company.
  • Continuity and real business activity in the United States.
  • An organizational structure that can genuinely support a managerial or executive position.
  • Financial capacity to maintain operations and the offered position.

In other words, a smaller company may qualify if it demonstrates genuine operations and a real need for the executive role, while high revenue alone is not sufficient if the structure cannot support the position.

Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth confirming the updated requirements with the official source (USCIS) and organizing evidence of operations with a specialist before filing.
