EB-2 NIW
EB-2 NIW Visa: Advancing Your Career and Purpose in the United States
The EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa is a fast-track green card option for professionals whose work benefits the United States. At IBP Immigration Law, we understand the dedication and innovation it takes to excel in your field. The EB-2 NIW eliminates the job offer and labor certification requirements, giving you the freedom to pursue your work independently.
Our experienced legal team will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that your application highlights your unique qualifications and contributions.
The EB-2 NIW visa is an employment-based green card for individuals with:
- Advanced degrees (master’s, Ph.D., or equivalent experience)
- Exceptional ability in fields such as healthcare, research, technology, engineering, or public welfare
Unlike standard EB-2 visas, the NIW waives the job offer requirement, allowing you to self-petition based on the national importance of your work.
- Permanent Residency: Secure a green card to live and work in the U.S. permanently.
- No Job Offer Needed: Apply without employer sponsorship and maintain career flexibility.
- Expedited Processing: Fewer steps compared to other employment-based green cards.
- Family Sponsorship: Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can also apply for green cards.
Your family’s future matters. The EB-2 NIW visa allows your spouse and children to join you in the U.S.:
- Your spouse can live and work in the U.S.
- Your children can enroll in American schools and universities.
We handle every step of the process to ensure a smooth transition for your family.
