EB-2 National Interest
Waiver — Green Card
Through Your Skills,
Expertise, or Business Plan
The NIW allows professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners to secure U.S. permanent residency without employer sponsorship — by demonstrating national value, future benefit, and strategic impact.
The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) is an employment-based immigrant visa category that allows individuals to self-petition for a green card without:
✓
A U.S. employer
✓
A labor certification (PERM)
✓
A job offer
Instead, applicants must demonstrate that their background and future work benefit the United States at a national level.
This is one of the most flexible and powerful green card categories available — especially for entrepreneurs and global professionals.

The Dhanasar Three-Prong Test
USCIS evaluates NIW petitions using the three-prong Dhanasar framework:
1
Prong 1
Substantial Merit & National Importance
Your proposed work has relevance and impact (economic, scientific, business, educational, cultural).
2
Prong 2
You Are Well Positioned for Success
Your background, experience, skills, and achievements show you can accomplish your plan.
3
Prong 3
Beneficial to the United States to Waive the Job Offer
Your contribution is important enough that the national interest outweighs the need for an employer sponsor.
We build strong NIW petitions by reinforcing all three prongs with strategic evidence, real opportunities, and clear benefits to the U.S.
