I have a managerial position, but I managed for only 9 months, not one year. EB-1C denied?

The EB-1C visa program was created to allow multinational executives and managers to obtain permanent residence in the U.S. It is essential to prove managerial or executive experience of at least one year within the last three years, performed outside the U.S. at a company related to the multinational that will employ the executive.

Experience less than one year, such as 9 months, may not meet the minimum requirement and may result in denial. Immigration authorities rigorously evaluate the continuity and duration of the managerial role.

U.S. immigration laws are strict, and inconsistencies in documentation negatively affect the outcome. It is recommended to seek guidance from specialists and consider other visa categories if the EB-1C criteria are not fully met. Always seek reliable information and comply with current legislation to properly conduct your process.
