EB-1C Intra Company Transferee

The EB-1C visa allows a U.S. employer to permanently transfer an executive or manager from one of its affiliated foreign companies to the United States, or a foreign company to permanently send an executive or manager to the United States to an existing affiliated company. Please be sure to contact us to determine whether you are qualified.

REQUIREMENTSEB-1C Intra company Manager or Executive Transferee

To qualify for an EB-1C visa, you must:


QUALIFYING RELATIONSHIP

Have a qualifying relationship with a foreign company (parent company, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate); and, for at least a year, have been doing business as an employer in the United States.


TIME

Have been working for the qualifying company overseas for one continuous year within the three years immediately preceding admission to the United States.


QUALIFYING ORANISATIONS

Be seeking to enter the United States to provide service in an executive or managerial capacity for a branch of the same employer or one of its qualifying organizations.
WHERE:
  • Doing business means the regular, systematic, and continuous provision of goods and/or services.
  • Executive capacity means the employee’s ability to make decisions without much oversight.
  • Managerial capacity means the ability of the employee to supervise the work of professional employees and to manage the organization, a subdivision, or a function of the organization. 
NOTE:

Unlike the L-1B non-immigrant visa, a year or more in a position of specialized knowledge does not qualify the applicant for the EB-1C visa; the EB-1C visa requires the employee to have one year or more of performance in either an executive or managerial position.

The employer must be able to demonstrate a continuing ability to pay the offered wage as of the priority date. Immigrant visas are subject to numerical restrictions dependent on nationality.


PROCESS & TIMELINE

OVERVIEW

On average, it takes 4 – 12 weeks for Bay Immigration Law to prepare an EB-1C case to file with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and some additional time to help prepare for the visa interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad.

Depending on the particulars of your situation, in general, the process is as follows:

INTRODUCTION

We have an introductory phone call and go over your plans, requirements, and the documentation/ information that will be necessary to proceed.

We send out an Engagement Letter establishing the Attorney-Client Privileged relationship, and outlining the legal and government costs for the preparation and filing of the case.

Once the Engagement Letter has been returned to us, we will make a formal request for documentation and information to begin preparation of the case.

STEPS FOR SUCCESS

We will take the necessary steps to ensure that you have or can provide the necessary documentation to establish the appropriate petitioner (your company) is transferring a qualified employee to an existing business for the case.

CONTINUED COMMUNICATION

On a continuing basis we work with you to collect the information and documentation to fulfill the submission requirements for the Forms, Letter of Support and Packet.

ON COMPLETION

Once everything is complete, we finalize the packet and ship it to USCIS. We will also send a copy to you directly. If you are attending a Consular Interview, we will walk you through the process of booking a Consular Interview, and will prepare you for the interview prior to the interview.
