The EB-2 visa is an immigrant visa for people who either have an advanced degree (beyond a bachelor’s degree) or who have exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. It is a pathway to permanent residency. Generally, an applicant needs a job offer from a U.S. employer and a labor certification (to prove there are no qualified U.S. workers for the position). However, there is a special option called the National Interest Waiver (NIW) that can waive the job offer and labor certification requirements if your work is in the national interest of the U.S. (for example, you have a project or skill that benefits the country significantly, like cutting-edge research or innovative entrepreneurship). The NIW often applies to scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and doctors. We help you assess whether you qualify for EB-2 or EB-2 NIW, organize your education and experience credentials, and assist in filing the petition correctly.
