The EB-1C visa is a category aimed at multinational executives and managers who have demonstrated high-level management functions for at least one year within the last three years before working at a company in the United States. Generally, it is necessary to prove that the position held was at an executive or managerial level, with broad authority and responsibility over significant departments or areas of the company.
When analyzing a situation where the person ‘only supervised 2 interns and 1 assistant’, this role may not meet the criteria required for the EB-1C. This is because USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) usually evaluates not only the number of people supervised but also the scope and nature of the managerial responsibilities. Managing a small team, without evidence of high-level management or significant control over business operations, may be interpreted as a technical role or limited supervision, rather than an executive or broad managerial position.
It is important to remember that each case is analyzed individually, taking into account all the documentation and information presented. Therefore, proving the duties and level of authority exercised in the role is crucial to demonstrate that the candidate fits within the EB-1C category.
I emphasize the importance of strictly following United States immigration laws. Seeking guidance from specialized professionals and avoiding offers that guarantee definitive results are essential measures to protect your interests during the process. In this way, you will be able to prepare a consistent and well-founded application, meeting all the established legal requirements.
