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.

What is EB-2 NIW?

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.
