For EB-1C, I managed 10 regional teams abroad. Good chances?

In the EB-1C category, having managed multiple regional teams is a positive indicator, but it does not decide the case on its own. The evaluation is holistic: it does not simply count the number of teams, but examines the managerial or executive nature of your role within the organization.

Among the factors that typically carry weight are your position in the hierarchy, the level of authority and autonomy you held, the complexity of your responsibilities, and the length of time you spent in those roles. Managing many teams works in your favor when it reflects genuine leadership and decision-making power.

• Clearly document the scope and reach of your decisions.
• Gather organizational charts, letters, and supporting evidence that establish your position.
• Demonstrate the qualifying relationship between the foreign company and the U.S. entity.

Every case is unique, so the key is building a consistent and well-documented petition. It is worth reviewing the current requirements with USCIS and assessing your profile with an immigration specialist before filing.
