My position is ‘Product Manager’, but do I actually manage a team?

The EB-1 visa is one of the priority categories for immigrants who wish to work in the United States and can include professionals who have excelled in their fields through extraordinary achievements or leadership roles. One of the points frequently analyzed is the demonstration of management and leadership activities, regardless of the job title.

In your case, if you identify as a Product Manager and, in practice, perform functions that go beyond product planning and development – such as coordinating teams, making strategic decisions, and overseeing the work of employees – then it is possible that you are effectively performing leadership tasks. It is important, in immigration processes, to provide evidence of this responsibility with documentation that proves team management and the impact of your actions on the organization.

It is always worth emphasizing that each process is individual and must be carefully evaluated according to the United States immigration regulations. Following official laws and guidelines is crucial, as well as consulting reliable sources and professionals specialized in the immigration area. This way, you avoid falling for miracle marketing promises or information that is not aligned with legal requirements.
