EB-2 · National Interest Waiver
The EB-2 National Interest Waiver lets advanced-degree professionals and those with exceptional ability petition on their own — without a job offer or labor certification. We build the evidence and the narrative your case needs, in English or Spanish.
General information, not legal advice. Booking a consultation does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.
USCIS weighs three factors. A consultation assesses how your background fits — every case is different, and nothing here is a guarantee of any outcome.
A master's or higher (or a bachelor's plus relevant experience), or a record showing exceptional ability in your field.
Proposed work with substantial merit and broader impact — beyond a single employer or locality.
Education, skills, a record of progress, and a credible plan that show you are positioned to move the endeavor forward.
EB-2 NIW cases are won on evidence and narrative. That is exactly where a cross-disciplinary, technically fluent attorney makes the difference.
We identify the documentation and recommenders your petition needs and frame a compelling national-importance argument.
Harvard-trained, with senior software engineering experience at PayPal and Meta — fluency with the technical and business contexts many NIW endeavors involve.
Consultations and representation in English and Spanish, with the responsiveness of a focused firm.
We assess eligibility and map a strategy for your endeavor.
We identify the exhibits, metrics, and recommenders that strengthen your case.
We draft the NIW argument and assemble a clear, persuasive package.
We file and monitor your petition through to decision.
Do I need a job offer or employer for an EB-2 NIW?
No. The National Interest Waiver waives the job-offer and labor-certification requirements that normally apply to EB-2, so you can self-petition.
What counts as an endeavor of national importance?
USCIS evaluates the broader impact of your proposed work. It is assessed case by case — exactly what a consultation reviews for your background.
How long does an EB-2 NIW take?
Timelines vary by country of birth and filing details; premium processing may be available for the I-140. An attorney can estimate a realistic range for your situation.
Can you assist in Spanish?
Yes — consultations and representation are available in English and Spanish.
