For EB-1C, is it necessary to offer a minimum salary?

When considering the EB-1C visa option for executives and managers of multinational companies, it is essential to understand that this classification does not establish the requirement to pay a specific minimum salary, as seen in some other visa categories.

The focus of EB-1C is to demonstrate the candidate’s experience and leadership position within the company, proving that they hold an executive or managerial role at an international level. United States immigration law, in the case of EB-1C, prioritizes the analysis of the company’s organizational structure and the hierarchical relationship between the candidate and the company, both abroad and in the U.S. territory.

Thus, the process does not require a determined salary floor or a minimum wage according to U.S. market standards. However, it is important that the job offer presented is compatible with industry practices, ensuring that the salary aligns with the functions and responsibilities performed, as well as complies with all applicable labor laws.

It is worth highlighting the importance of correctly following United States immigration regulations and seeking information from reliable sources. Assistance from specialized professionals can be helpful to avoid mistakes, scams, or approaches that promise results without proper legal basis. Each case is unique, and a detailed analysis of the specific points is essential to guide the next steps safely and appropriately.
