In a recent discussion, immigration attorney Ruchita Sudan highlighted the challenges faced by legal firms in processing EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) applications. She coined the term ‘NIW Exhaustion’ to describe the difficulties in meeting the Dhanasar prongs, particularly the requirement to demonstrate a Proposed Endeavor’s National Importance.
Key Details:
- The Advanced Degree or Exceptional Ability criteria serve as the minimum requirement for EB-2 NIW applications.
- The Dhanasar prongs require extensive research into U.S. economic trends and industry data, often taking hours or days.
- Many firms are experiencing a backlog, with some halting new cases to manage existing workloads.
- Prong 2, which assesses if the applicant is well-positioned to advance their endeavor, is currently a common challenge among service centers.
This situation underscores the complexities that immigration attorneys face, impacting their ability to scale their EB-2 practices effectively. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
