EB-1C Multinational Manager & Executive Green Card
Run the U.S. arm of your company, permanently.
If you've spent at least one of the last three years as a manager or executive at a company abroad, and a related U.S. entity wants you in a leadership role, EB-1C converts that transfer into a first-preference green card.
Built for people like you.
Executives on L-1A status
EB-1C is the natural permanent-residence path for L-1A intracompany transferees already leading U.S. operations.
Founders with a foreign parent company
Built a company abroad and expanded to the U.S.? A properly structured transfer into your U.S. entity can qualify.
Senior managers of multinational teams
Function and people managers who direct the work of professionals, with real authority over hiring and strategy.
Companies moving key leaders
We work with the U.S. employer as petitioner to move the leaders their growth depends on.
What USCIS actually looks for.
EB-1C is about corporate structure and the nature of your role, on both sides of the transfer. Every element below must be satisfied.
All of these requirements must be met
Qualifying relationship
The U.S. petitioner and the foreign company are related as parent, subsidiary, branch, or affiliate.
One year abroad
You worked for the foreign entity as a manager or executive for at least one of the three years before transfer (or before entering the U.S.).
Managerial or executive capacity, abroad
Your role abroad was genuinely managerial or executive: directing the organization, a department, or an essential function.
Managerial or executive capacity, in the U.S.
The U.S. role you're taking is also managerial or executive, with the org chart and duties to prove it.
Active U.S. business
The U.S. entity has been doing business for at least one year.

EB-1C questions, answered.
Do I need to be on an L-1A first?
No, L-1A is a common on-ramp but not a requirement. You can consular-process directly into EB-1C if the structural requirements are met.
Can founders use EB-1C?
Yes, when the structure is right: a foreign company you led, a qualifying U.S. entity that's been operating for a year, and a genuinely executive U.S. role. We'll tell you in the strategy session whether your structure works or needs a year of building first.
Is there a labor certification?
No. Like all EB-1 categories, EB-1C skips PERM entirely, but unlike EB-1A, it requires the U.S. employer to petition. You cannot self-petition.
What trips up EB-1C cases?
Thin evidence of managerial capacity, USCIS wants to see that you direct managers or an essential function, not that you're a skilled individual contributor with a title. Our petitions are built around the org chart and real duties.
What about my family?
Your spouse and children under 21 receive green cards with you as derivatives.
