On June 6, 2018, LPY Law Group received approval of an EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) I-140 immigrant petition for a poet, writer, editor and educator in creative writing from Taiwan. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved the petition without RFE.
For EB-2 I-140 immigrant petitions, the petitioner must show that he is either an advanced degree professional or possesses exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. For most EB-2 I-140 petitions, he must also have a permanent US job offer and an approved labor certification. However, a National Interest Waiver or NIW waives the requirements of a permanent US job offer and an approved labor certification if the petitioner can show that his entry into the US as a permanent resident is in the national interest.
