EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver)

What is the NIW Green Card?

The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a U.S. immigration pathway designed for highly skilled professionals whose work benefits the United States. Unlike traditional employment-based green card processes, the NIW allows applicants to self-petition, meaning no employer sponsorship or labor certification is required.

This category is ideal for individuals in fields such as technology, engineering, science, healthcare, law, etc.

In other words, if an individual can demonstrate that their expertise and proposed activities serve the national interest of the United States, they can apply for a green card independently, without employer sponsorship. This is the most distinctive feature of the EB-2 NIW Green Card process.
