I held a supervisor position, but I was replaceable, without much power. EB-1C?

Let’s begin by explaining that the EB-1C visa is aimed at executives and managers of multinational companies who wish to transfer to the United States to assume a similar position. This visa requires that the applicant has held a managerial or executive position at the company abroad for at least one year within the last three years, as well as demonstrating that they will have strategic and decision-making functions upon arrival in the United States.

In your case, if the role performed was supervisory, but you were considered replaceable and did not have significant decision-making power, it is likely that the position does not adequately fit the ‘manager’ or ‘executive’ criteria that the EB-1C demands. Usually, US immigration expects the candidate’s role to have leadership characteristics with authority to make decisions that affect the company’s direction at a strategic level, something beyond operational supervision activities.

It is essential to analyze the responsibilities in detail because each case is unique. If there are doubts about whether the role performed meets the necessary requirements, it is important to seek information from official sources, read specific materials, and consider a consultation with professionals specialized in US immigration.

Always remember the importance of complying with the country’s immigration laws and be cautious with offers or marketing campaigns that promise guaranteed results for immigration processes, as they may mask essential information about the real criteria and procedures.

In summary, if your role was supervisory with little autonomy and decision-making power, it might not be possible to fit it into the typical profile required for the EB-1C. It is advisable to review your professional history and carefully analyze the details required for this visa, always keeping in mind the importance of obtaining information through official sources and specialists in the field.
