EB-1C if I am Head of Finance and Head of HR at the same time. Is that okay?

The EB-1C visa is intended for executives and managers who have worked in multinational companies and who are subsequently being transferred to a branch or subsidiary in the United States. This type of visa requires that the applicant have held senior management positions outside the United States for at least one year in the past three years before applying, and that their role involves strategic executive or managerial responsibilities.

If you simultaneously hold the positions of Head of Finance and Head of HR, the important thing is to demonstrate that both functions are indeed executive and managerial in nature. This means you must prove that your responsibilities involve coordinating, supervising, and making strategic decisions that impact the entire company or a substantial part of it.

The accumulation of roles can be considered feasible, as long as it is clear that your role is strategic and that you exercise significant influence over the direction of the business. For the success of the petition, it is essential that the submitted documentation details the duties related to each area and evidences that the combination of your functions does not impair the characterization of your position as an executive.

Furthermore, the sponsoring company must prove that there is an internal structure that justifies the concentration of such responsibilities in a senior management position. Always remember to pay attention to United States immigration laws and regulations and consult specialized sources for analysis of your specific case. It is wise to be cautious of information that guarantees results and to avoid services that may constitute scams or exaggerated marketing campaigns.

Clarity in documentation and consistency of the information presented are fundamental in this process.
