National Interest Waiver for STEM Professionals
The EB2 NIW visa is a unique opportunity for STEM professionals whose work benefits the national interests of the United States. This visa allows qualified individuals to bypass the labor certification process, meaning you can apply for a green card without needing a job offer from a U.S. employer. For scientists, engineers, tech innovators, and researchers whose work has significant societal, economic, or security benefits, the EB2 NIW visa is an ideal path to permanent residency.
Our firm excels in working with STEM professionals to present the strongest case for a National Interest Waiver. We collaborate with you to gather the necessary evidence and ensure your petition clearly outlines how your work contributes to U.S. national interests.
