In the EB-1C, can I change positions after some time in the US?

Generally, yes, but with caution. The EB-1C relies on you holding an executive or managerial role at the company in the United States, so the key question is whether the new position still meets that requirement.

Not every change creates a problem. Title adjustments or minor role modifications that do not alter the essence of your leadership responsibilities tend to be acceptable. A significant change, however, warrants careful review before it takes effect, to avoid jeopardizing your status.

• If the new role remains executive or managerial in nature, the risk is typically low.
• If the function becomes operational or loses its leadership character, the classification is at risk.
• Relevant changes may require notification and documentation to the authorities.

Therefore, before accepting a position change, it is worth assessing the impact on your visa and reviewing the updated rules at the official source (USCIS) or with a specialist, keeping all documentation current.
