The national interest waiver is a process permitting an exception from the job offer and the Labor Certification requirement, a mandatory process for employment-based petitions, on the basis of national interest of the United States. For professionals navigating the EB2 NIW requirements, working with an experienced EB2 NIW lawyer can make the difference between approval and denial. At John Perry & Associates, we guide clients through every step of securing their EB2 NIW green card.
National interest waivers are usually granted to foreign nationals in a wide variety of fields, whose employment in the United States would greatly benefit the nation. Those seeking a national interest waiver may self-petition—they do not need an employer to sponsor them—and may file their labor certification directly with USCIS along with their Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker. An EB2 NIW self petition lawyer can help you build a compelling case that demonstrates your unique value to the United States.
