EB-2 NIW Visa Consultants for National Interest Waiver Applicants

The EB-2 National Interest Waiver allows professionals to pursue permanent residence without employer sponsorship when their work benefits the United States at a national level. Approval depends on future national impact, practical merit, and clear waiver justification. We help applicants position their work, evidence, and plans to meet EB-2 NIW standards clearly.

Visa Context

What the EB-2 NIW Visa Is Designed to Do

The EB-2 NIW is an employment-based immigrant visa that allows self-petitioning when an applicant’s work benefits the United States broadly. It prioritizes national interest over employer demand and focuses on long-term contribution.

Purpose of EB-2 NIW

Supports permanent residence based on national benefit.

Who It Applies To

Professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability.

Self-Petition Model

No job offer or labor certification required.

Permanent Residence Outcome

Approval leads directly to a green card.

Eligibility

Classification Reality

How EB-2 NIW Eligibility Is Actually Determined

EB-2 NIW is not a talent contest or an employment shortcut. USCIS evaluates whether the applicant’s work has substantial national importance and whether waiving labor certification benefits the United States more than requiring employer sponsorship.

Substantial Merit and National Importance The proposed work must address issues with broad economic, scientific, healthcare, or societal impact.

Well-Positioned to Advance the Endeavor Evidence must show the applicant has the background, track record, and resources to move the work forward.

Benefit of Waiving Labor Certification The case must demonstrate why bypassing PERM serves the national interest.

Advanced Degree or Exceptional Ability The applicant must first qualify under the EB-2 classification baseline.
