Furthermore, a manager must have authority to employ and terminate those who are supervised or at least work at a senior level in the organization.<\/p>\n<p>An organization is qualified if it is either a US affiliate, parent or subsidiary of a foreign business entity. The terms &#8220;affiliate,&#8221; &#8220;parent,&#8221; and &#8220;subsidiary&#8221; are defined by immigration regulations, and not by their generic meaning.<\/p>\n<p>As for the requirement of 1 year of experience within the past 3 years, in cases where the employee is in the US on a non-immigrant visa (often an L-1A visa), &#8220;past 3 years&#8221; would mean the 3 years prior to admission to the US. The immigration service does have a bias against smaller companies, and there is often doubt that an individual can be qualified as an <strong>EB1C<\/strong> executive or manager when the US operation lacks a layered corporate structure.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2-font-cus\">When can I Obtain an EB1C Visa?<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike other employment based categories, the quota for <strong>EB1<\/strong> class petitions generally is never met, therefore, a visa or change of status to <strong>EB1<\/strong> can be obtained as soon as the petition is approved. <strong>EB1<\/strong> cases do not require any test of the US job market either. The process can be completed in a matter of months.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2-font-cus\">What are the Advantages and Limitations of EB1C?<\/h2>\n<p>As previously mentioned, the process for obtaining <strong>EB1<\/strong> status is much faster than other employment based green card petitions.<\/p>\n<p>The immigration service is hesitant to approve <strong>EB1C<\/strong> cases for smaller US companies. Often, an <strong>EB2<\/strong> or <strong>EB3<\/strong> petition is a better, more realistic option.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2-font-cus\">What is the Attorney&#8217;s Role in an EB1C Petition?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>EB1C<\/strong> petitions should be presented in an organized manner. A professional understanding of the legal definitions relating to the US organization and the candidate&#8217;s role as either an executive or manager is necessary in order to present an effective case. The cover letter must be written in such a way as to highlight how the organization is able to support an executive or manager. Simply reciting the legal definitions, and claiming that the worker will have such a role is highly unlikely to be acceptable to the immigration service. An attorney will be familiar with what documentation will meet the satisfaction of an immigration case reviewer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To discuss EB1C petitions and other alternatives with an experienced immigration lawyer from the Shah Peerally Law Group, feel free to <a title=\"EB1C Visa Attorney In San Jose California\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peerallylaw.com\/en\/content\/view\/495\">contact us<\/a> by email or call us at 510-742-5887.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2-font-cus\">Fees<\/h2>\n<p>Click the following link for our fee schedule &#8212; &gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerallylaw.com\/en\/content\/view\/178\/\"><strong>Attorney Fees<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2-font-cus\">EB-1C Testimonial<\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;<\/strong>Shah processed my EB1C I-140 petition and he got it approved with out any RFE.
