EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver)
The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) provides a fast-track green card option for highly skilled professionals whose work significantly benefits the United States' economy, education system, healthcare sector, technological advancement, or national security. Unlike other employment-based green cards, the EB-2 NIW does not require a job offer or labor certification, making it an attractive option for researchers, entrepreneurs, and specialists in critical fields.
Eligibility Requirements
