There have always been many ways to immigrate to the United States, but most of them either require high investment or have long waiting times. The waiting period of three to five years has also discouraged many people who want to immigrate to the United States.
However, investment is not the only way to immigrate to the United States. If you can prove your talent, the United States can also open the door for you. This has to mention the two immigration programs of the United States Outstanding Talent Immigration and National Interest Waiver .
In recent years, the United States EB-1A (exceptional talent) and EB2-NIW (national interest exemption) have suddenly emerged and quickly occupied the immigration market. However, in comparison, most people are more interested in EB-1A (extraordinary talent). They are more familiar and concerned about it, but they are not very clear about EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver), which has even caused many people to have some misunderstandings about NIW. Today I will answer some common questions about US National Interest WaiverNIW .
What is the National Interest Waiver? National InterestWaiver
National Interest Waiver (NIW for short) is a special case of the second preference for employment-based immigrants. Normally, the second preference for employment-based immigration requires the employer to provide a permanent job position and obtain an approved Labor Certification (LaborCertification, referred to as LC) before submitting an immigration application.
However, based on the consideration of the national interests of the United States, the U.S. government gives priority to foreigners who have contributed to the interests of the United States, so that foreigners who meet certain conditions can directly work without an employer or a labor certificate through the national interest exemption channel. Apply for and receive a green card.
What are the conditions for application?
At least three of the following requirements need to be met to meet the application conditions of NIW1. Applicants have a bachelor's degree or a master's degree or above, a bachelor's degree with at least 5html more than 1 year of work experience, and have special skills that exceed those of ordinary peers in the fields of science, art or business. 2.

Have achievements and important contributions recognized by industry insiders, government organizations, professional agreements, and business organizations in the industry.7. Other documents that can prove special talents, such as publication of professional journals, papers, scientific research achievements; awards and honors received;
What are the advantages of NIW in the United States?
One person applies and can immigrate at the same time with his/her spouse and unmarried children under 21 year old; directly obtain the permanent green card of the United States in one step; no asset size, investment and employment requirements; no language and age requirements; no industry restrictions, no employer sponsorship requirements. Is there a schedule for
NIW?
NIW No commitment from the employer is required, the conditions are relatively low and you can obtain a permanent green card in one step. The only drawback is that there is a waiting list, which has been steadily improving in the near future. However, there is no timetable during the stage of knowing the result of green card approval. Applicants can know the result in a very short period of time, and then just wait for the green card quota.
Will the policy change during the scheduling period?
The United States is a long-established immigration country. Its immigration policy has always been known for its stability, and the New Deal will generally not be traced back to customers who have been approved by the Old Deal. The main change is reflected in the improvement of application conditions. This is why we recommend that customers apply as early as possible. Once the application is submitted and the file number is obtained, the immigration policy can be locked in, queue up as early as possible, and the whole family can obtain U.S. status as soon as possible.
Will job changes affect the application? There will be no impact on changing jobs during the scheduling period, as long as the industry in which the applicant works does not change.
If I don’t have a journal article, can I still apply for NIW?
is OK. There is no relevant provision in the 6 requirements requiring applicants to have published articles. Each industry and each applicant's situation is different. If you have not published any articles, you can apply with other excellent conditions. How to prove that the applicant's work will bring national benefits to the United States in the future? NIW's principle for determining national interests is "based on the present and focusing on the future". According to this principle based on “anticipated future” national interests, the most important thing is to prove that based on the applicant’s past achievements, it is expected that he can have a beneficial impact on the national interests of the United States in the future.
What should I do if I am not sure about applying for NIW?
When the applicant is not sure that the application will be approved, he can choose several more immigration categories to apply for. There are no provisions in the U.S. immigration law and related laws prohibiting multiple applications, so some NIW project applicants will also apply for other more secure immigration categories as a minimum application, which will increase the chance of application approval to a certain extent.
NIW requirements for talents
Have a master's degree or above from an equivalent university in the United States or a foreign country; if you do not have a master's degree or above, a bachelor's degree , and at the same time 5html more than one year of relevant work experience in a professional field can also be considered to meet the advanced degree requirements; or have outstanding abilities in science, art, or business.
Is the US NIW visa pass rate high?
The success rate of niw in the United States is related to the applicant's conditions, and each applicant's situation is different. But what is certain is that a good copywriting team can greatly increase the pass rate. Generally speaking, the success rate of professional immigration agencies is still very high. Staff from professional organizations will provide copywriting assistance and guidance to applicants to ensure the pass rate of the U.S. niw visa.
Almost all EB-2 applicants must have a job or employment opportunity offered by a U.S. employer, i.e. applicants applying for the second preference category must have a job commitment and their potential employer must complete a labor certification on the applicant’s behalf. application process, this is often not easy to achieve.
However, NIW, which is a national interest exemption project, is different. To apply for U.S. immigration through NIW, as long as it is proved that the applicant has special talents and this talent is in the interests of the United States, the applicant can be exempted from the labor certification requirements. You can apply directly to the US Immigration Service . This is the benefit of NIW.So if you want to immigrate to the United States, NIW National Interest Waiver is a very good choice.
