How multinational managers and executives should organize an EB-1C RFE response around job duties, company relationship, and business records.
Plan an EB-1C RFE response around the exact weak point: duties, relationship, one-year employment, or doing-business proof.
Compare company records, job descriptions, payroll, tax records, contracts, and organization charts before USCIS reviews them.
Small record gaps can become expensive RFEs. A structured review can identify what should be fixed or explained before submission.
An EB-1C request for evidence is rarely just a request for more documents. It usually identifies a specific gap in the record: whether the applicant truly managed, whether the U.S. and foreign entities are qualifying organizations, whether the foreign employment period is proven, or whether the U.S. company is doing business.
A strong response should not blur the legal theory. If the role is managerial, the record should show supervision, staffing, discretion, and control over a function or department. If the role is executive, it should emphasize direction-setting, policy authority, and broad decision-making rather than routine operations.
Corporate charts, payroll records, tax filings, leases, invoices, contracts, bank records, and ownership documents should tell the same story over time. When the RFE challenges the relationship or doing-business requirement, a clean timeline often matters as much as the volume of documents.
If the RFE reveals inconsistent job descriptions, outdated organization charts, or weak foreign-company records, the applicant should decide whether the current response is enough or whether a broader EB-1C strategy reset is needed.
