What country were you born in? The EB-1 category is current for all countries which means you might be able to file for the green card quickly. But that can change at any time.

Premium processing is NOT available for this category, so yes, it will be slow. Just depends on which USCIS office will process the case.

Client filed EB-1C petition in 2018. We filed for their AOS in Oct. 2020. USCIS is now asking for medicals so we think they may get their green cards soon.

Thank you for the comment! That makes a lot of sense. Happy for your client and many thanks to you and your colleagues for all the help 😊

Hey, I work with PwC and I happen to work outside US as well for 2 years at Manager designation. I'm working under P&T Digital Technologies practice. Do you think I would qualify for EB1 category ?

What practice were you in at PwC and what all things do they look for when considering if you are really at a Manager thing or title would suffice?

Would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks!

Based on my discussion with pwc law it would take 1-1.5 years, they would be filing 140, 145,EAD and AP concurrently

PwC Law is really slow. Be prepared for long timelines and slow response time. Also, check their work because they make mistakes.

Other than that, they know what all to do.

In relation to the rule “One out of three year” international managerial experience for EB1C, does the three year precede when my L1A petition approved/entered US on L1A or does it preceed three years the date EB1C petition is filed? Will be great if someone can ans this question.

Congrats OP! Did you spend 1+ years abroad as a manager?

OP: Did you worked for PwC abroad or for other company?

Do you have international managerial experience?

Yes

Thanks for the response, I am from India and yes i worked at manager capacity before coming to US

If you are filing EB1C now and dates are current, what is pwc law saying ? How long it will take to get an approval on I-140 ? How long it will take to get I-485 apply ? And actual green card in hand timing ?

Thanks for the info Pwc author. If I’m planning to get married in middle of this EB1C process, will my husband also get green card with me? He is currently on H1b. How does this I-485 work? Any idea?

I-485 will be filed separately for both of you, in your case he can file once your married.

M1 if your in same company then 3 years rule doesn’t applies to you. I am in same boat and my attorney clarified this to me.

Hey mate, who did you need to get an approval from to get the green card process started? I am currently on the L1-A visa so assuming I’d also be able to apply under the EB1-C category.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says).

We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
