Q: Can I apply for GREEN CARD under EB1C category?
I started working in USA as a manager from January 2017 (on L2B -EAD) and before that I was working in India with the same employer (subsidiary) since 2014 until I moved to US in oct 2016). I applied for EAD after I moved and it was approved on dec 28th 2016 and joined US parent company immediately on Jan2nd 2017. I had a team reporting to me in India and here as well .
Need your advice : Am I eligible to apply for green card under EB1C ?
Can I request my employer to apply for my green card under EB1C category?
A: Your employer has an immigration attorney, so you should consult with that attorney.
A: As a manager, this would appear to be the correct category. In order to determine if you qualify, you should consult with an experienced immigration attorney. You can ask your employer to sponsor you, but ultimately it is up to them. If they are willing to sponsor you they will probably have you speak with their attorney.
