EB2 NIW Immigrant Visa

Are you looking to Immigrate to the U.S. but don't have a job offer from a U.S. employer? 

If you have an advanced degree or are of exceptional ability then you can sponsor yourself by applying for an Employment-Based National Interest Waiver (NIW). This special process allows the applicant to bypass the job offer and labor certification requirement when applying for an Immigrant Visa to the U.S.

There are two types of NIWs an applicant can qualify for:

As a professional holding an advanced degree, meaning beyond a bachelor's degree, or a bachelor's degree and at least five years of experience in your profession. 

As a person of exceptional ability in the arts, business, or sciences.  Having an exceptional ability means expertise not normally found within your area of expertise.

We recommend starting the NIW as soon as you can, as paperwork and processing of this visa classification can take weeks or months to prepare. In addition, processing times can vary, from a few months to over one year. 

There are two (2) types of EB-2 petitions:

• Advance Degree
• Exceptional Ability

Qualification for the EB-2 classification as an individual holding an advanced degree or a person of exceptional ability does not automatically qualify the person for an NIW.  Before the alien can be granted an NIW. The applicant must then demonstrate their eligibility for the waiver of the labor certification and job offer requirements after establishing their eligibility.

The applicant must be able to show the following to be eligible for an NIW:

• Evidence that the proposed project by the applicant is both substantial merit and important nationally
• Proof that the applicant is in a good position to pursue the planned project or endeavor
• Evidence that, overall, the U.S. would benefit from waiving the conditions of a job offer and, consequently, a labor certification for the applicant
