Permanent residence for executives moving to the U.S.
The EB-1C is a green card for multinational managers and executives transferring to a U.S. entity — often the natural next step after an L-1A. No labor certification required. We build the corporate case to match.

The role and the structure, aligned.
EB-1C scrutiny centers on whether the role is genuinely managerial or executive and whether the corporate relationship is real. We document both.
A real corporate link
The U.S. employer must have a qualifying relationship with the foreign entity (parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or branch) and generally have been doing business for at least a year. We evidence the structure clearly.
The role, properly framed
You must be coming to work in a true managerial or executive capacity. We define the role against USCIS’s standards rather than relying on a job title alone.
A faster employment path
Unlike most employment-based green cards, EB-1C requires no labor certification, and premium processing is available on the I-140 — a meaningful speed advantage for executives.

What executives and employers ask first.
How is EB-1C different from L-1A?
L-1A is a temporary work visa; EB-1C is the green card. They share many requirements, which is why L-1A executives and managers frequently transition to EB-1C for permanent residence.
Do I need a labor certification (PERM) for EB-1C?
No. EB-1C does not require PERM labor certification, which removes a long and uncertain step from the process.
Can EB-1C be premium processed?
Yes. Premium processing is available for the I-140 petition, allowing a decision within roughly 15 business days.
Do I need a year of employment abroad?
Yes — you generally must have been employed abroad by the related entity in a managerial or executive capacity for at least one year in the three years before the petition (or before entering the U.S. on a related visa).
What counts as managerial or executive?
USCIS looks at what you actually do — directing the organization or a function, supervising professionals, and exercising discretion — not simply your title. We frame the role accordingly.
