The EB-1C visa is a U.S. immigration category designed for multinational managers and executives. It allows qualified individuals to live and work in the United States permanently. To qualify, applicants must have worked for a related company abroad for at least one year in a managerial or executive role. This visa is part of the Employment-Based Immigration system and is considered a first-preference category, meaning it has a higher priority than other employment-based visas. The EB-1C is beneficial for companies looking to transfer key personnel to their U.S. operations, facilitating international business growth.
