If I became the majority partner of a company abroad 2 months ago but have not actually been active, does it count for EB-1C?

The EB-1C is a visa intended for multinational executives and managers seeking to work in the United States. To be eligible, the applicant must have effectively and continuously performed managerial or executive functions at a foreign company for at least one year within the last three years, demonstrating their administrative experience.

Becoming a majority partner recently, without effective managerial activity, does not meet the EB-1C criteria, since ownership alone does not prove executive experience. It is crucial to strictly follow United States immigration rules and avoid unfounded promises.

It is recommended to consult with specialists to evaluate other visa options, ensuring document compliance and informed decision-making throughout the process.
