The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) allows skilled professionals, particularly in STEM fields, to self-petition for a US Green Card without needing an employer. This option is often unknown to many professionals, who may be waiting for employer sponsorship.
Key Details:
- No employer required for application.
- No PERM labor certification needed.
- No job offer necessary.
- Applicants must have a master’s degree or higher (or a bachelor’s plus five years of specialized experience).
- Work must demonstrate significant impact, such as in research or technical innovation.
- Evidence is required to show that the applicant’s continued work serves the national interest of the US.
This pathway offers a viable alternative for skilled professionals who have been waiting for employer sponsorship to immigrate to the US.
