Understanding the EB-2 NIW Program
The EB-2 visa, which includes the National Interest Waiver (NIW) option, is designed for individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities. Applicants falling into these categories, whose employment would serve the national interest of the United States, may apply for an NIW as part of their EB-2 petition. With an EB-2 NIW visa, applicants become lawful permanent residents of the United States.
Requirements for a Successful NIW Application
To obtain an NIW, applicants must demonstrate:
- That their proposed endeavor is of “substantial merit and national importance.”
- That they are “well-positioned” to execute their proposed endeavor.
- That, on balance, it is in the national interest to waive the job offer and PERM certification requirements.
The “on balance” criterion considers whether the benefits of the certification are outweighed by the benefits of the NIW. “Substantial merit” may manifest in various fields, including education, health, culture, technology, science, entrepreneurialism, and business.
