Protecting the National Security and Welfare of the United States and its Citizens from Criminal Actors and Other Public Safety Threats

Brazilian applicants will be subject to the expanded DHS access to DOJ criminal databases. While not currently a VWP country, any future 'Preventing and Combating Serious Crime' agreements between the U.S. and Brazil would further automate the vetting of Brazilian EB-1C candidates.

USCIS Increases Screening, Vetting of Aliens Working in U.S.

USCIS Announces FY 2026 Inflation Increase for Certain Immigration-Related Fees

With a high volume of L-1A to EB-1C transitions from Brazil, the fee hike will increase the cost of doing business for Brazilian firms in the U.S. However, the lack of severe EB-1 retrogression for Brazil keeps the impact at an informational level.

Court Order on Partial Stay of DHS 2024 USCIS Fee Rule

Brazil has seen a rise in EB-1C filings as more Brazilian companies expand into the U.S. market. The court order prevents a sudden spike in petition costs, allowing for more predictable corporate budgeting for executive relocations.

The Petitioner failed to provide a statement from the foreign employer confirming the Beneficiary's duties and did not establish a subordinate personnel structure. There was no objective evidence of a qualifying relationship (parent, subsidiary, or affiliate) between the entities. Furthermore, the Beneficiary's stay in the U.S. for over four years in B-2 and F-2 status without work authorization interrupted the continuity of qualifying employment.
