EB2-NIW Visa: Win Your Professional Future in America | Linhares Law

Did you know that the EB2-NIW visa, or National Interest Waiver, allows an applicant to obtain a green card (permanent residence) without an employer’s offer of employment in the United States? This type of visa is designed for those who have a bachelor’s degree and have more than five years of professional experience in the bachelor’s field. It is also aimed at people with exceptional skills and long proven professional experience. In both cases, a benefit to the United States must be demonstrated, i.e. the national interest.

EB-2-NIW does not require investment or proof of advanced English level.

To get it, it is necessary to understand the process and fulfill the necessary requirements. It is at this point that a specialized immigration attorney becomes essential. An attorney experienced in this area can provide personalized guidance, assist in preparing documents and strategies, and provide legal support throughout the process.

An EB2-NIW visa attorney can help you understand the eligibility criteria, such as: demonstrating advanced skills and exceptional qualifications, demonstrating significant impact in your field, and the national interest of the United States.

It is important to note that the EB2-NIW visa also benefits the applicant’s family. Spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 may be added to the visa application as dependents, allowing them to enjoy the same rights and benefits as living and working in the United States.

By having an experienced EB2-NIW visa attorney, you will be provided with a professional who knows the ins and outs of this complex process. The attorney will work closely with you to ensure that all requirements are met, evidence is properly presented, and your case is defended as effectively as possible before the immigration authorities. This support increases your chances of success in obtaining an EB2-NIW visa, opening the door to a promising life in the United States while enjoying the security and stability that a green card provides.

For exceptional ability, the candidate must meet at least three of the seven criteria below:

1. An official academic record showing that you have received a degree, certificate or similar award from a college, university, school or other educational institution of your exceptional ability;

2. Letters documenting at least 10 years of full-time experience in your profession;

3. A license or certificate to practice your profession;

4. Evidence that you have been highly compensated for services that demonstrate your exceptional ability (bonuses, awards, etc.);

5. Membership in a professional association;

6. Recognition of your achievements and significant contributions to your profession or field by your peers, government agencies, professional or business organizations;

7. Other comparable evidence of eligibility is also acceptable.

It is worth noting that all professionals in all fields including sports, culture and music can qualify.

First, it is recommended that you hire a US licensed attorney to handle your case personally. Visa companies beware!

After preparing the documents, which are quite detailed, your process is entered in the US. Once the EB-2 is approved, the process is sent to a standard interview at the embassy in Rio de Janeiro. The next step? Enter the US and get your green card!
