Let’s address the topic clearly and informatively. EB-1 visas are immigrant categories for the United States intended for individuals with outstanding skills or positions, and within this group we have the EB-1C, which is aimed at multinational executives and managers.
In the case of the EB-1C, the focus is on experience in an executive or managerial position at a company that has a relationship with a branch, subsidiary, or affiliate in the United States. If you acted as head of logistics and were responsible for defining the entire strategy, your role may meet the management or executive criteria, provided it can be demonstrated that your duties included supervising departments or making significant decisions that impacted the entire organization.
However, for the EB-1C to be applicable, it is important that you prove you worked abroad for at least one year in a managerial or executive role, and that the company you worked for has a qualifying relationship (such as a branch or subsidiary) with the U.S. operation. It is also expected that the role in the United States will be similar in terms of responsibility and authority.
Regardless of your specific case, it is essential to analyze the documentation and requirements demanded by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. It is worth emphasizing the importance of strictly following immigration laws, seeking guidance from specialized professionals in the field (independently and without it being a recommendation of any specific office), and being cautious with solutions that promise guaranteed results or involve dubious marketing approaches. These precautions are essential to avoid complications and fraud in the process.
Remember that each case has its particularities, and a detailed analysis of your history and the functions performed is indispensable to determine the best strategy and immigration category.
