The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a special subcategory of the EB-2 visa for those with advanced degrees or exceptional ability whose work is deemed to serve the national interest of the United States. The key advantage of an NIW is that you can request to skip the usual requirements of having a job offer and labor certification. To get an NIW, you need to show that your work has substantial merit and national importance (for example, contributions to health care, technology, education, or the economy) and that you are well-positioned to advance that work. Common NIW applicants include researchers, entrepreneurs, and professionals working on critical issues. If approved, you get the same type of green card as EB-2.
