In EB-1C, which form is completed for spouse and children?

When opting for the EB-1C, intended for multinational executives and managers and allowing the principal applicant to obtain the green card, the spouse and minor children can enter the process as derivative beneficiaries.

There are two scenarios depending on how the process is conducted: if the dependents are in the United States and it is possible to file for adjustment of status, they must complete Form I-485 to obtain permanent residency.

If the processing is consular, when they are outside the country, the appropriate form is DS-260, available on the Department of State website. It is important to strictly follow immigration laws and consult official sources to ensure the success of the process.
