I worked as a deputy manager for 1 year and 2 months, but acted as a manager. Is EB-1C possible?

The EB-1C visa is intended for multinational managers and executives seeking transfer to a branch, subsidiary, or affiliate in the United States. It is necessary to prove managerial experience abroad for at least 1 continuous year within the last 3 years.

Although the formal title is deputy manager, the determining criterion is to demonstrate that your role had managerial responsibilities, such as decision-making, team supervision, and authority to manage. This proof can include organizational charts, detailed job descriptions, and company statements.

The authorities” analysis considers the content, responsibilities, and organizational structure, not just the title. In cases where there is a discrepancy between the position and the role, clear evidence of managerial activity is essential.

It is important to emphasize following U.S. immigration laws and seeking specialized advice, avoiding unfounded promises. Each case requires detailed analysis for a correct eligibility assessment.
