And EB-1 has quotas. So even if you qualify it may take many many years for Indians/Chinese folks.

I could argue EB-1 is easier. Become a manager at FANG -> apply for EB1.

It's not that simple. You need to have been a manager outside of the US for 1 year, apply and get approved for L1C visa, enter the country on that and then once in the US apply under EB1C. All the time maintaining legal status.

It's trivial compared to waiting 15 years for your EB-2 to be processed.

Make that 105

EB1c is trivial because of the manager route but with many WITCH companies exploiting it, they might change things in the future.

Eb1a is the tough category they are talking about.

They locked down on this in the last few years, but I had friends come in through the EB-1. One didn't even get picked in the H-1B lottery and so had to work in India and that gave him the foreign manager experience. This is ~2018.

But I agree, I didn't mean it has the same true requirements, just that it is the "corresponding" category. So yes, not "equivalent", "corresponding".
