EB-2 National Interest Waiver

The EB-2 visa category is an employment-based immigrant visa for individuals who qualify as advanced degree professionals or persons of exceptional ability. The National Interest Waiver, commonly known as NIW, allows eligible applicants to request a waiver of the usual job offer and labor certification requirements when their proposed work is important to the United States. In general, an NIW case must show that the proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance, that the applicant is well positioned to advance the endeavor, and that it would benefit the United States to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements. For EB-2 NIW cases, ILIC CONSULTING helps present the proposed endeavor, the applicant's qualifications, the market or national need, the expected impact, and the business or professional strategy through clear supporting documentation.
