What is the EB2-NIW visa?
The EB2-NIW (Employment-Based Second Preference - National Interest Waiver) is a U.S. immigration visa category aimed at qualified professionals who wish to obtain permanent residency in the country.
It stands out by waiving the need for a job offer from an American company, as long as the applicant can prove that their work is of national interest to the United States.
This visa is part of the second preference for employment-based immigration (EB-2), intended for individuals with an advanced academic degree (master's or doctorate) or exceptional abilities in fields such as science, arts, business, or sports.
The difference with EB2-NIW is that the applicant can request a waiver from the job offer and labor certification process, provided they can prove that their work will bring substantial benefits to the U.S.
EB2-NIW visa requirements: How do you know if you are eligible?
Before determining whether you are eligible for the EB2-NIW visa, it's essential to undergo a thorough evaluation, which includes two critical stages.
The first stage focuses on assessing your academic and professional qualifications, ensuring you meet the criteria for advanced degrees or exceptional abilities.
The second stage involves building a national interest case, where you need to demonstrate how your work could significantly benefit the United States.
These two phases are crucial to strengthening your application and increasing your chances of obtaining the EB2-NIW visa.
→ Step 1: Educational and Professional evaluation
In the first stage, we assess your academic background and professional experience. There are two main paths to qualify for the EB2-NIW:
Advanced academic degree: You must hold at least a master’s degree, PhD, or the equivalent of five years of progressive experience in your field;
Exceptional ability: If you do not have an advanced degree, we will evaluate whether your skills can be classified as exceptional, according to U.S. law. This includes significant achievements and recognition in your sector.
→ Step 2: Building the National Interest case
If you meet the educational or professional requirements, the next step is to verify whether you can build a solid national interest case. To do this, your work must demonstrate the potential to significantly benefit the U.S. We evaluate factors such as:
Professional impact: It is essential that you have made important contributions in your field, such as leading innovative projects, developing solutions, or having the potential to influence your sector in the U.S.;
Career continuity in the U.S.: We also check your ability to continue contributing to the development of your field in the country.
