Unless otherwise indicated, the work visa application stated in this quotation refers to non-immigrant petition for Intra-company Transferees (Managers or Executives and Transferee with Specialized Knowledge) under the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.
Immigrant visas are for individuals seeking to immigrate to the U.S. and seeking permanent residence (Green Card) may be available for job offers in identified occupations in which U.S. workers are in short supply or in other specific categories. These employment-based visas are divided by preference categories with specific quotas, skill requirements and per-country caps.
An EB-1C immigrant visa is for international companies needing to transfer employees to the United States permanently. This particular petition falls under the first-preference employment-based petition, which has 40,040 annual immigrant visas allotted to it. Since there is currently no visa backlog for this category and priority dates are current for most nationals, this petition is considered as the fastest mean in obtaining permanent residency (Green Card). At the moment, it takes 13 to 14 months to obtain a Green Card through EB-1C classification. Please note that the exact timeframe is subjected to the processing time of relevant government agencies.
Family members of the EB-1C immigrant are entitled to admission in the same immigrant category (Green Card). Included in this category is the spouse of the visa holder, as well as minor unmarried children under the age of 21.
All applicants who meet the eligibility criteria specified in the Section 3 of this quotation may apply for the EB-1C immigrant classification in the United States. |
