Introduction To NIW Application We provide the highest quality of service available for your National Interest Waiver case. Unlike the first preference, a petition of second preference for an employment-based immigrant visa requires a specific job offer and labor certification. However, a petitioner may seek a waiver of the employment offer by establishing that admission to permanent residence would be of “national interest “. This means that petitions for the National Interest Waiver (NIW) are more difficult to obtain than petitions for regular EB-2 visa. The correct procedure is to file Form I-140 together with the required evidence to establish that the foreign person’s admission to the United States for permanent residence would be of national interest. EB Pathway has developed proven winning strategies for petitions of NIW, which enables us to guarantee approval for the national interest waiver green card that we file. If physicians agree to work in areas with a shortage of health care professionals for at least five years, then they are entitled to a National Interest Waiver (NIW) if a state or federal agency affirms that the work will be in the best interest of the public. Moreover, we strive to reduce NIW green card processing time. EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Recommendation and Reference Letters Recommendation letters is also referred to as testimonial, reference, or supporting letters. These letters are vital when petitioning for an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Analysis of submitted documentation is the process used by officers to determine eligibility for standard petitions or a labor certification waiver, since the officers usually are not authorities on the relevant field of work. The submitted documentation may include memos, testimony of experts, articles, citations, rewards, media coverage, publications, and reference or recommendation letters. Because NIW (National Interest Waiver) recommendation letters reflect the recognition of authorities in the relevant field of work as well as the impact of the work, they are considered to be one of the vital pieces of documentation necessary when filing petitions.

The Employment-Based, second preference visa (EB-2) is a permanent visa category available for certain persons who have earned an advanced degree or qualify as individuals of exceptional ability (read more about the EB-2 visa). An individual can either be sponsored by an employer who completes a Labor Certification Application (LCA) or can self-sponsor, which is where the EB-2 becomes more interesting. Self-sponsorship provides highly capable individuals the option to apply for a green card without the encumbrance of being bound to a particular employer. It can thus be especially appealing for entrepreneurs, small business owners, managers, medical professionals, consultants, and other experienced professionals. Self-sponsorship, however, adds additional challenges to the petition. Here is why. Self-sponsoring through the EB-2 NIW To self-sponsor, a petitioner must do so based on the USCIS’s acceptance of the claim that the approval of their visa aligns to the national interests of the United States America and is therefore deserving of a National Interest Waiver (NIW), thus leading to the EB-2 NIW sub-category. When a petitioner’s endeavor will demonstrably benefit the United States, the approval of their petition aligns to the stated bipartisan intent of the 1990 Immigration Act that created the EB-2 NIW and other visas. The intent of the Act was simple; it was and remains to strengthen the United States via the contributions of immigrant workers. In assessing a petitioner’s EB-2 NIW case, the USCIS will often request in an RFE a variety of documents including support letters, proof of EB-2 credentials, expert opinion letters related to EB-2 NIW criteria, and a petitioner’s professional plan. What types of things are often included within an EB-2 NIW professional plan? General Content within an EB-2 NIW Professional Plan As a reminder, your immigration attorney should review all of your documents and may advocate a different approach. The customized approach developed by ProfVal and upon which this paper references is based on our significant experience with this category and our interpretation of the prongs of Dhanasar 2016, an important legal precedent for the EB-2 NIW. An EB-2 NIW professional plan from Profval is a 10-15 page document that formalizes how his or her endeavor meets the criteria for the EB-2 NIW. Thus, this plan is more than just a “personal statement”. Accordingly, an EB-2 NIW professional plan should be specific to your endeavor and may include the following sections: For exceptional ability, these include: This approach is consistent with and developed based upon successful petitions seen by ProfVal’s team. The approach does not, of course, provide a guarantee of acceptance of an individual’s petition. This professional plan does not in anyway constitute legal advice. If you are working on your EB-2 NIW professional plan, we hope that this document was of value to you.
