Complete Guide to Obtaining the EB-2 NIW Visa in the United States: Process and Requirements




The process to obtain the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Visa in the United States involves several steps and requirements. Here's a summary of the process:



1. Eligibility:

  • Demonstrate that you have exceptional skills in your professional field. This may include academic achievements, professional recognitions, publications, patents, or other relevant accomplishments.

  • Ensure that your work will significantly benefit the United States and is of national interest. This may involve contributions in areas such as science, technology, research, education, health, business, or culture.

  • Prepare a strong job proposal demonstrating how your work will be beneficial to the national interest of the United States and why you deserve a waiver of the job offer requirement.


2. Document Preparation:

  • Gather documentary evidence to support your application, such as recommendation letters, awards, certificates of recognition, publications, patents, and any other relevant documentation demonstrating your exceptional abilities and the importance of your work.

  • Draft a detailed cover letter explaining why you deserve the EB-2 NIW Visa and how your work will contribute to the national interest of the United States.


3. Application Submission:

  • Complete the application form for the EB-2 NIW Visa (Form I-140) and submit it along with all required documents to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

  • Pay the applicable processing fees and ensure compliance with all submission requirements.


4. Evaluation and Processing:

  • USCIS will review your application and assess whether you meet the requirements for the EB-2 NIW Visa.

  • Additional evidence may be requested, or you may be asked to participate in an interview to discuss your application in more detail.


5. Approval and Visa Issuance:

  • If your application is approved, you will receive a notification of approval from USCIS.

  • Depending on your situation, you may need to adjust your status within the United States or apply for the visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.

  • Once the process is complete, you will receive the EB-2 NIW Visa, allowing you to legally work and reside in the United States. It's important to note that the application process can be complex and requires careful preparation and documentation to increase the chances of approval.
