Eb2 Niw Visa

You must possess either an advanced degree or a foreign equivalent degree in the arts, business, or sciences to qualify for an EB-2 NIW visa. Additionally, you may need to demonstrate extraordinary talent. In the section below, we’ll talk about these requirements in greater detail.

To qualify for an EB-2 NIW, you must demonstrate that you possess an extraordinary ability and an advanced degree, as we have already mentioned, but what exactly does this mean?

An advanced degree (or the foreign equivalent) should go beyond that typically encountered in the realm of the arts, sciences, or business. Additionally, you should have at least the equivalent of a master’s degree or bachelor’s degree plus five years of on-the-job experience.

The requirements for an EB2 NIW green card don’t stop there. You’ll also need to satisfy the requirements for a national interest waiver. Let’s take a closer look at the things you will need to prove to be considered eligible.

1. Your Proposed Endeavor Has “Substantial Merit” and “National Interest”

Healthcare, education, technology, research, entrepreneurship, and business are just a few examples of the many areas where “substantial merit” can be demonstrated. You may define your proposal in light of its broader influence on the betterment of society rather than having to show how your contribution would offer financial benefits.
Additionally, your planned project need not have an impact on the entire country. Despite its local focus, creating a significant number of employment opportunities in a particular region that is suffering economically could be considered a national initiative.

2. You Are Positioned Well to Carry Out This Proposed Endeavor

Furthermore, it’s not required to demonstrate that the project will “most likely succeed in the end.” You merely need to show that you are positioned well enough to carry it out successfully.
This implies that in order to submit an application for the national interest waiver, you do not necessarily need to have a well-known, prosperous business. Having said that, owning an organization with a long track record of success can certainly help support your case.

3. It Is in the Country’s Best Interest to Waive the Job Offer Requirements

The USCIS also requires that the waiver be “on balance,” which means that the pros of wavering the labor certification and job offer process outweigh the cons. This is often the case when a foreign national can provide significant contributions to the country in their field.

To prove that you have an exceptional ability or an advanced degree, you will need to provide evidence. Let’s take a look at the different types of evidence you must supply to qualify for this kind of visa and national interest waiver.

Here’s what you can provide as supporting evidence that you possess an advanced degree or the foreign equivalent:

If You Have a Master’s Degree or Higher

A diploma and transcripts from the relevant educational institute that prove that you have earned a degree that is at least the equivalent of a master’s degree or higher are required if you are highly qualified.

If You Have a Bachelor’s Degree or the Equivalent

Letters from past employers that attest to your past five years of post-baccalaureate work experience, along with the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree, as well as a copy of your diploma and transcripts and letters from employers, are needed in this category.
Keep in mind that these letters must indicate that you have improved your skills over the preceding five years.

If you have an advanced degree, it’s best to take the approach mentioned above, as it is more challenging to prove that you have an exceptional ability. That’s because you’ll have to prove three or more of the following:

• You have received recognition from the government, peers, or other professional or business organizations that attest to your contributions to the field.
• An official academic record showing that you have an educational qualification that pertains to an exceptional ability.
• A minimum of 10 years of work experience in your field of expertise that can be seen in letters from previous employers.
• Exceptional ability membership to some kind of relevant professional association.
• Evidence that you have been paid for services related to this special ability.
• A license to practice your skill or talent.

The USCIS official is going to require supporting documentation in addition to having faith in your remarkable abilities. This is why, if at all possible, you should submit evidence of more than three of the things on the list above. In other words, it is not sufficient to merely produce paperwork – the evidence must be presented in a way that supports your claim.

In addition to the proof mentioned above, you’ll also need to show that you deserve to be awarded a national interest waiver.

However, the applicable statutes do not identify any supported documentation required to prove that you qualify for a national interest waiver. Consequently, USCIS officers must evaluate each application on its own merits. Having said that, USCIS does offer certain directives that may be helpful.

We’ll provide more information about some of the most pertinent guiding principles in the section below.

Is It in the Country’s Best Interest to Waive the Job Offer Requirement?
Officials can take into account the following to decide whether an applicant satisfies the third criterion that we talked about and if skipping the PERM certification requirement would prove advantageous to the United States:

• Whether your skill set is in great demand in the country.
• If your work would be beneficial to the US, irrespective of how it would affect American employees in a related field.
• Whether your expertise would make it practicable for you to obtain a job offer or follow the labor certification process.

Determining Whether You Are Positioned Well Enough to Complete Your Project
To assess your eligibility based on your positioning to carry out your proposed endeavor, the USCIS officer would consider the following criteria:

• Your skillset
• The knowledge you possess
• Your educational background
• Whether you have a well-thought-out plan of action
• If there are any official records that prove past success in the field
• What evidence do you have that proves progress made toward your intended goal
• Whether businesses, investors, shareholders, etc., have shown interest in your project

Compiling Evidence to Prove That Your Abilities and Skills Are of National Importance
Now that you understand some of the things the USCIS looks for when determining which applicants are eligible for national interest waivers let’s talk about the evidence you can provide to prove that you meet these standards.

A great way to demonstrate that you are eligible for an EB2 NIW is to offer proof of academic research that you have done, in addition to your resume and proof of your qualifications. It’s also a good idea to include news articles where you were praised for your exceptional ability or contribution to your field.

If you have letters of recommendation from experts or other kinds of evidence that prove your competence, you should also submit this to support your case. A complete plan to demonstrate how you will accomplish your proposed endeavor is also recommended.

What If You’re an Entrepreneur?

Suppose you are hoping to start a business venture in the United States as a skilled and highly experienced individual. In that case, you should also include the following in your petition:

• Letters of intent from another business hoping to work with you
• Proof that you have contact with investors, shareholders, etc.
• Evidence that you have the capital required to do business in the US
