The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa is an excellent option for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability who seek permanent residency in the United States.
This employment-based visa category allows eligible individuals to bypass the labor certification process, significantly streamlining the path to a green card.

To qualify for an EB-2 NIW visa, applicants must meet one of the following requirements:
- Hold an advanced degree (master’s degree or higher) or a foreign equivalent.
- Demonstrate exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business.
In addition to meeting one of these criteria, applicants must also prove that waiving the labor certification requirement is in the national interest of the United States. This typically involves demonstrating that the applicant’s work has substantial merit, offers national importance, and that the applicant is well-positioned to advance their proposed endeavor.
