At VKM Law Group, we take pride in navigating complex immigration cases with precision and expertise. Our recent success in securing an I-140 approval under the EB-1C category for a multinational functional manager is a testament to our deep knowledge of immigration law and unwavering commitment to our clients.
The Challenge: A Senior Manager Without Direct Reports
A large consulting firm approached us to help secure a Green Card for one of its top executives under the multinational manager category. While the executive held a senior position and played a critical role in the company’s success, the challenge was that they were a subject matter expert with no direct reports—a potential hurdle in meeting USCIS’s strict managerial criteria.
Our Approach: Crafting a Winning Strategy
We strategically positioned the case under the “functional manager” category, focusing on the executive’s authority over an essential company function. Our approach included:
✔ Identifying and Defining the Function – We carefully analyzed the executive’s role to demonstrate that they managed an essential function of the company at a senior level.
✔ Proving Managerial Capacity – We highlighted how the executive exercised authority over personnel and resources necessary to execute the function, even without direct reports.
✔ Building a Strong Evidentiary Record – We meticulously reviewed hundreds of documents, ensuring that every claim was backed by clear, corroborating evidence.
✔ Drafting a Persuasive Petition – Our team prepared a compelling support letter, clearly tying the evidence together in a manner that USCIS could easily understand.
The Outcome: Approval with No RFE in Record Time
Thanks to our meticulous preparation and expert legal strategy, USCIS approved the petition within days of filing—without issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE). Our client was thrilled with the seamless process and swift approval.
