    EB1 is a total SCAM. I patiently waited for 12 years for my GC in proper channel. And I manage 5 to 10 of these guys from from TCS. Funny thing is they will get the GC in 6 months. Even my director is a H1b but since he works for American company, the company files him in EB2. He too waits years before he can have the GC. Where as these guys who we manage, gets GC in 6 months. Where is fairness in US immigration system? Total abuse of LAW.

    EB1C is THE TOTAL SCAM. There are so many Loop holes for this category and Companies like CTS/Infosys/TCS and other Indian companies are playing with the Loop Holes They are showing fake documents, FAKE Org chart, (sometime THE MANAGER doesn't know WHO Those people are in their ORG Chart ). The people are not even true managers they are QA Manual Tester, developer. May be in the Company his/her designation is a Manager, But THEY are not TRUE Manager, Fake Manager. They are doing Coding, Testing , ETC BUT NOT MANAGING anything ... DO YOU REALLY NEED 10000 INTERNATIONAL Manager?? USCIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP THIS FRAUD ...

    Scientists, Researchers and fake managers, this is absolutely unjust to those who have worked hard to get those degrees , to innovate and create new jobs. As reusing someone else's labor is not allowed now, similarly EB1-C should be discontinued.

    This is just to avoid reccurring H1B FEE which is high for outsourcing companies which has more than 50% temporary visa workers.

    Even companies like Google and Apple are rampantly indulging in EB-1C abuse by bringing substandard and inexpensive people who have roles like Account Managers on L1-A visa and filing for their GC immediately.

    Insurance companies are continually outsourcing work while laying off their U.S. employees from programmers on up & driving salaries way down (by downgrading existing job grades & salary ranges). Amazed they continue to get away with it.

    There is no reason why EB1C has exponentially increased in the past few years. This is clearly a case of misuse of the quota, at the expense of others already in the US.

    I atleast now have hope with a president that is thinking about immigration and companies violating rules. EB1C ABUSE by so called tech companies like Cognizant, Accenture etc.. is a menace to this nation. STOP THIS NOW !!! and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN by giving preference to people that have studied in this country and have invested in this country and call this country their home even when they are treated like second class citizens.

    This category should be based on experience and role in US. Most of these so called managers from Indian outsourcing companies and small consulting companies are doing development/testing work sitting at client locations. There are more seniors and actual managers who are in EB2/3 category and has been backlogged. Eligibility criteria for EB1c category needs to be limited.

    This is a fact, people are exploiting EB1 category. I know about cases from Indian software companies who tried this route and had success. People with genuine relevant work experience and qualification are stuck with long queues of EB2 and EB3. I hope the immigration reform that is being talked about will try to stringent the process and vet the applicants for such frauds and misrepresentation. By the way, does these messages and concerns even reach congress via this website?

    I know many people from some of the largest Indian IT firms (Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro) as well as small Indian IT consulting firms (10 to a few hundred employees) who have and are continuing to misuse EB1-C category. They openly agree that there is a loophole in the EB1-C category and they are continuing to exploit it. We need to stop this category or severely limit its use to stop this abuse. How can there be thousands of international executives in one IT consulting company? There has to be a stringent limit on how many EB1-C applications one company can file per year. Also, the cap on this category should be much smaller that other categories like EB2 and EB3. The overflow of VISA numbers from other categories should never go to EB1-C category. EB1-C should have only a fixed cap per year which should be a very small number. Looking at the statistics from 2015 and 2016, there were more about 20,000 to 30,000 people which got green cards in EB1-C category. How can the companies start producing tens of thousands of so called "International Managers" in last two years? No surprise here. Since the wait in EB2 and EB3 has increased, companies are just misusing the EB1-C category. Please stop this abuse and if possible investigate the wrongfully approved EB1-C applications in the past two years.

    EB1C-India consuming 30,000 GCs whereas rest EB1 getting only 10,000. Rest of EB1 are most valued scientists and academics, are facing significant delays to GC and many are pursing going back to their home counties. Please move EB1C to a different category and expedite GC processing for EB1-A/B categories.

    EB1C is being abused. USCIS should take action against it by raising salary bat to 500k or higher. Thos who are filing EB1A with the criteria 'high-paid' are expected to earn around 500k in their field. But, EB1C's are earning 70-100k and getting GC without skills or proper qualifications.

    Some companies (Well I think everyone Knows the Name) take ~$$$$ to file a illegal L1-visa and then file EB1C for them with a fake managerial position. They work with minimum pay $75 k - $85k, they don't even know the resources names that officially reports to him .. ( actually there are zero). this is a look hole and Indian IT are playing dangerously with it. Please stop this Abuse...

    We would like to appraise you of a particular area of United States Immigration law that has a huge potential of fraud and misrepresentation along with being unfairly biased in favor of the people who choose to abuse it. We are talking about the Employment-based first preference category EB1C (International Managers). As you are already probably aware, the requirements for eligibility in that category is just a year of overseas managerial experience in a company that conducts business in both US and abroad. We are sure you will agree that compared to the fair and stringent requirements of EB1A (persons of exceptional ability) and EB1B (outstanding researchers), this is a rather simple qualification to prove. Moreover it opens up avenues for fraud and misrepresentation particularly by overseas companies doing business in USA to unfairly take advantage of this simple requirement. The following example illustrates the fallacy: Person A (originally from India) has a US masters degree in a STEM field and works for a company in a managerial job that requires a Masters degree and a few years of experience. This person can only file in EB2 category which is badly backlogged. Person B (originally from India) has a bachelors degree in a STEM field and works for a company in a job that requires a Bachelors degree and a few years of experience. This person can only file in EB3 category which is even more severely backlogged. In contrast, Person C (originally from India) works as some manager (over a year) in an Indian software company that also conducts business in the USA. This person can file in EB1C and will get preference over Persons A & B. Please note that for Person C, educational qualifications are irrelevant as there is no such requirement and moreover they are determined by the employing company. So potentially a person with a high school diploma can qualify in that category, not to mention that the prospect of frauds opens up exponentially. Contrast this with EB1A (persons of exceptional ability) and EB1B (outstanding researchers). In terms of immigration preference, person C is considered at par with a Nobel Prize worthy scholar (EB1A) or a renowned Researcher in a STEM field (EB1B). I am sure you are able to see the fallacy easily. With the recent measures taken to curtail fraud in programs like H1B, the perpetrators have increasingly turned to this EB1C category. We would like to request you to kindly take up the matter with the appropriate authorities about this issue and restore some parity in the above categories. Ideally the EB1C category should be abolished or downgraded to a lower preference category. Request your help with this. Thanking you in anticipation, Employment Based Legal Immigrant Community

    It is unfortunate situation to other EB1 categories that is is happening. Most of these managers have no real executive powers nor the aptitude to use it. Please explore the candidate during the interview process. Also, why is that only in the past 2-3 years there has been an explosion in EB1C filling. Is there really a demand for record number of manager in the USA.
