What is an EB2 NIW visa?
The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa is for individuals with advanced training or expertise in their field. While employer sponsorship is typically required, applicants under the NIW can apply on their own behalf and are not required to submit a job offer. This visa must demonstrate that their work will contribute to the national interest of the United States and offer significant benefits in areas such as economic, cultural, health, technology, or education. Therefore, it is an attractive immigration avenue for researchers, academics, entrepreneurs, and specialized professionals.
