What is the National Interest Waiver (NIW)?
Unlike traditional employment-based green cards that require a sponsored job offer, the NIW program offers a faster and more flexible route to permanent residency. It targets exceptional foreign nationals whose work is considered to be in the national interest of the United States.
Who Qualifies for an NIW?
The NIW program is open to individuals who can demonstrate exceptional ability in their field. This exceptional ability can be evidenced by:
- Advanced academic credentials: Holding a doctorate or a master’s degree in your field, especially from a top-ranked institution.
- Extensive and distinguished experience: A proven track record of success and expertise in your chosen profession.
- Published works: Contributing significantly to your field through published research papers, articles, or books.
- Awards and recognition: Receiving prestigious awards, recognition from peers, or invitations to speak at industry conferences.
The NIW application process can be intricate and demands a well-crafted case presentation. Partnering with an experienced immigration attorney specializing in NIW applications can significantly enhance your success rate. Here’s what FederPath Consultants can do for you:
