USCIS has reported a significant decline in EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) approval rates, dropping from 95.7% to 54%. This change coincides with a 190% increase in filings, resulting in heightened scrutiny of applications. Many rejections are attributed not to the merit of the applications but to gaps in submission, which are being identified by CIRIS before reaching USCIS.
