In EB-1C, if I worked part-time as a manager abroad, does it count?

The EB-1C visa is intended for executives and managers who hold high-responsibility positions in multinational companies. A fundamental requirement for this benefit is to prove significant and continuous experience in a managerial or executive position outside the United States, usually for at least one year full-time prior to the transfer.

In the specific case of having worked part-time as a manager, it is important to note that the regulation generally requires this experience to be on a full-time basis. If the experience is partial, it may be necessary to demonstrate, through a conversion to full-time equivalence, that the duties and responsibilities performed reached the same workload and complexity as a full-time position. In many cases, working part-time is not automatically considered sufficient to meet this requirement unless it is proven that, in terms of performance and level of responsibility, the service provided corresponds to that of a full-time role.

It is always advisable to thoroughly inform yourself about the current United States immigration regulations and seek support from reliable sources, such as specialists or reputable immigration firms, to ensure all criteria are rigorously met. Additionally, beware of miracle promises or marketing approaches that guarantee results without a detailed analysis of your background and legal requirements. Respecting immigration laws and following appropriate guidance is essential to avoid future complications in the process.
