For EB-1C, can I manage sales of 2 different units in the USA?

The EB-1C visa is intended for executives and managers who come to the United States to hold high-responsibility positions in companies related to those where they have previously worked abroad. This category requires the candidate to prove managerial or executive experience in a multinational company and that the new position in the USA also involves similar functions, with authority to make important decisions about strategies and operations.

In the specific case of managing sales of two different units, it is indeed possible for this activity to be considered part of a managerial role, as long as the function involves managing the activities, supervising teams, and making high-level decisions in both contexts. However, it is essential that the company’s documentation and internal organization demonstrate that the activities performed meet the criteria required by U.S. immigration for executive or managerial level functions.

This means that the functional differences between the sales units regarding decision-making structure and strategic management must be clear, and that both sectors are under leadership demonstrating significant authority and autonomy. It is always important to emphasize the need to strictly follow U.S. immigration laws. Proof that you have been and will continue to perform executive or managerial functions is essential, and the company’s administrative details, such as organizational charts and job descriptions, need to comply with legal requirements.

Therefore, it is recommended to consult official sources and, if necessary, specialized companies on the subject to help prepare the correct documentation. This caution helps avoid disruptions and possible problems with scams or marketing campaigns promising unfailing results without a solid legal basis for such promises.

When considering managing sales in two different units, the key is to demonstrate that these responsibilities fit the profile required by the EB-1C, that is, supervisory and strategic decision-making functions that significantly impact the business. Always pay close attention to official guidelines and be especially careful with how experience and function are documented to ensure that everything complies with U.S. immigration regulations.
