For EB-1C, does overseeing 2 supervisors who each manage 10 people count as a good sign?

Overseeing supervisors who in turn lead other people is a relevant indicator of leadership in an EB-1C case, but it is not, on its own, what decides the outcome. This category, designed for executives and managers of multinational groups, focuses less on team size and more on the nature of your role.

The central point is demonstrating that your position involved decision-making authority, planning, and strategic impact within the company. Managing managers is generally a good sign of a command-level position, as long as the scope of your responsibility within the organization’s structure is clearly established.

To turn this experience into strong evidence, it helps to present:

• Organizational charts showing where your role fits in the hierarchy.
• Detailed job descriptions outlining your responsibilities and authority.
• Evidence of strategic decisions and the impact of your work on operations.

Since each case depends on the organization’s context, team structure is one of the factors, not a guarantee. It is worth documenting your leadership role thoroughly and evaluating your profile with a specialist before filing a petition.
