Find Out If You Qualify for the EB2 NIW Visa
Are you a skilled professional, engineer, researcher, scientist or entrepreneur thinking about a U.S. green card through the EB2 National Interest Waiver (NIW)? Working out whether you qualify is the first step. The rules have two layers, and many people only know about the second one, so a structured review of your profile saves time and avoids filing a petition that was never going to meet the standard.
What Is the EB-2 NIW?
The EB-2 NIW lets a qualified professional apply for U.S. permanent residency without a job offer and without the labor certification process. You can file the petition (Form I-140) for yourself. According to USCIS, you must first qualify for the EB-2 category, through an advanced degree or exceptional ability, and then show that waiving the job offer is in the national interest. For the full background, see our guide: What is EB-2 NIW?
What the EB2 NIW Free Evaluation Looks At
Our free evaluation follows the same order USCIS uses when it reviews a petition:
- EB-2 eligibility first: an advanced degree (a U.S. master’s or higher, or a foreign equivalent), or a bachelor’s degree followed by five years of progressive experience in the specialty, or exceptional ability. See who qualifies for EB2 NIW and the bachelor’s plus five years rule.
- Your proposed endeavor: whether the specific work you plan to do in the United States can be described in a way that shows substantial merit and national importance, not just a job title. Our guide on how to write a proposed endeavor for EB2 NIW explains this step.
- Your record: the evidence you already have (projects, results, publications if any, patents, contracts, awards, leadership, letters) and whether it supports being well positioned to advance that endeavor.
- Gaps to close before filing: what is missing or weak, so you know what to collect first.
These points come from the three-prong test in Matter of Dhanasar, which we explain in the three prongs of EB-2 NIW.
Why Choose the EB2 NIW Visa?
- No employer sponsorship required: you can self-petition without a job offer.
- A green card route for your family: your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can apply as dependents. See EB2 NIW for spouses and children.
- No labor certification: useful for entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals.
- Premium processing is available: for an extra fee, USCIS commits to act on the I-140 within 45 business days. That is a faster decision, not a guaranteed approval. Details in EB2 NIW premium processing.
