In a remarkable achievement, we recently facilitated the approval of an EB1C green card for a multinational executive in the IT industry, completing the entire process in a mere 3 months. This case exemplifies efficiency in navigating the U.S. immigration system, particularly for skilled professionals seeking permanent residency.
Case Overview
Our client, a Canadian citizen born in India, holds a pivotal role as an IT manager at a large IT services company. Their journey to U.S. permanent residency began with the acquisition of an L1A visa, which was obtained on the same day of application at a U.S. port of entry – a notable benefit for Canadian citizens.
Rapid Transition from L1A to EB1C Green Card
Following the L1A visa acquisition, we immediately filed an I-140 Adjustment Petition under the EB1C category. The EB1C visa category is designed for multinational executives and managers who demonstrate exceptional skills and experience. The transition from L1A Manager to U.S. Permanent Resident under EB1C was impressively swift, taking only 3 months from initiation to the production of the green card.
Streamlined Process Without Delays
A key highlight of this case was the absence of any Requests for Evidence (RFE) and interviews, which often prolong the green card application process. The smooth and expedited approval underscores the strength of the applicant’s qualifications and the meticulous preparation of their case.
This case serves as an exemplary model for IT professionals and multinational executives aspiring to obtain U.S. permanent residency through the EB1C route. It demonstrates the potential for a swift and smooth transition, provided that the application is well-prepared and the candidate’s qualifications are solidly aligned with the EB1C criteria.
