Our National Interest Waiver Work
Posted Jan 30, 2004
Often we are asked about our firm's national interest waiver (NIW) work and what makes us so unique in this area. How is it that while many other law firms are reluctant to process these cases, we have an overwhelming success rate in this area?
The National Interest Waiver is one of several avenues to the green card in the United States. For those not familiar with the qualifications for an NIW, which falls the under Employment-Based Second Preference (EB2) Immigration category, one may be a professional in almost any field, doing work that could benefit the U.S. in the national interest in any number of ways. One does not have to be doing AIDS or cancer research. One could have a unique business concept, or be an artist or performer who helps to build bridges between various cultures and art forms. These are just a few of the possibilities.
Besides being within the realm of business immigration law, the intellectual stimulation of working with our brilliant clients is always exciting. The NIW team at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C. works tirelessly with our clients who are NIW candidates, advising them on the language of the reference letters, helping to summarize their research or work in language as simple to understand as possible. This, I assure you, is no mean task! Our firm gains these approvals for our clients through our ability and willingness to break complex terms and phrases into easily comprehensible terminology so that the USCIS examiner will be able to appreciate the complexity of the petitioner's work, yet understand it with no trouble.
In our law firm, we have successfully received approvals on several hundred cases for many different professionals. We spend a great deal of time on each case since the attention to detail and the time commitment is much more than in most other green card cases. Examples, in alphabetical order, of approvals received on behalf of our clients range from Aerospace Engineers, Biotechnology Researchers, Chemical Engineers, Digital Imaging Processors, Environmental researchers, through to a Zoologist, all doing some unique or unusual work in the U.S. national interest. Synopses of some of our NIW approvals are available on MurthyDotCom.
We look forward to continuing to help exceptional individuals with this difficult category and are proud to help the United States in acquiring such desirable talent.
