The EB2 national interest waiver (NIW) category involves members of the professions who hold advanced degrees or persons of exceptional ability. There is also a special NIW option for physicians, which is discussed on the MurthyDotCom Physicians page. Although the EB2 category normally requires an employer and a labor certification, the Attorney General may waive this requirement if the work by the applicant is in the national interest.
Requirements
- Evidence the foreign national’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance
- Evidence the foreign national is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor
- Evidence that, on balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer and thus of a labor certification
