It is natural to have doubts when dealing with the requirements of the EB-1C visa, intended for executives and managers of multinational companies who will work in the USA.

The structure of the American branch, even with only 2 employees, does not make qualification impossible, as the law does not set a minimum number for sponsorship. The focus is on the nature of the business, the managerial position held abroad and that will be maintained in the USA.

It is important to demonstrate established operations, clear hierarchy, and management compatible with the EB-1C. Supporting documentation and a strategic role are essential.

It is recommended to be rigorous in complying with the law and to have specialized professional support to avoid mistakes and ensure process compliance.
