EB2-NIW

The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (EB-2 NIW) is an employment-based immigration category for the United States. It allows individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities in their fields to apply for U.S. permanent residency without the need for a job offer or labor certification. It’s designed for those whose work significantly benefits the national interests of the United States.

To be eligible for an EB-2 NIW, you must have an advanced degree or possess exceptional ability in your field, such as the sciences, arts, business, or technology. You should also demonstrate that your work is of significant national interest to the United States, typically through impactful contributions to fields like scientific research, healthcare, technology, or business.

The EB-2 NIW offers several advantages, including the ability to self-petition for U.S. permanent residency, work in your field of expertise without needing a job offer, and avoid the labor certification process. It provides freedom and flexibility to pursue your career and research interests in the United States independently, making it an appealing option for highly skilled professionals and experts.
