What are the advantages of NIW?

Compared to regular Eb-2 petitions, NIW has two major advantages: first, a permanent job offer is not required; and second, a labor certification is not required. Accordingly, a qualified alien can file NIW petition on his/her own, and does not have to go through the dubious Labor Certification process.

Who are eligible for NIW petition?

NIW is available only to employment based second preference immigration petitions (Eb-2). This category requires that the alien beneficiary possess either an advanced degree (Masters Degree or above) OR exceptional ability. Therefore, you are statutorily eligible for NIW petition if you have at least a Master degree or you can establish exceptional ability with convincing evidence.

What is National Interest Waiver (NIW)?

A majority of employment based immigrations are employer sponsored, which require, among other things, a permanent job offer from U.S. employer. One exception to this general rule is National Interest Waiver. To put it in a simple way, National Interest Waiver allows an alien to apply for green card without permanent job offer from U.S. employer by establishing that granting him/her permanent residence is in the U.S. national interest.
