Today, I will tell you in detail what points to pay attention to when applying for NIW, and how to quickly obtain approval through the NIW project, which is smooth and beautiful!
NIW Advantages
First advantage: NIW does not require support from US employers. This can be said to be an exception to the second category of priority of occupational immigration to , because the second category of priority is required for all employers except NIW.
Second advantage: NIW does not need to go through the Labor Certificate (PERM) application process. This can be said to be another exception in the second category of priority for professional immigration. In addition to NIW, the second category in occupational immigration applications will be preferred to go through the labor certificate application process.
Third advantage: The legal requirements of NIW are relaxed, and many applicants who fail to meet the requirements of EB-1A meet the application conditions of NIW. Although EB-1A is ideal, there are only limited people who meet the requirements for applying for EB-1A. In comparison, the scope of application of NIW is more extensive.
NIW Application conditions
Since national interest exemption belongs to the second priority of professional immigration (EB-2), applicants must meet the conditions for applying for EB-2, that is, they have "Professionals Holding Advanced Degrees" or "Special Skills" (Aliens of Exceptional Ability)
also needs to work in the "Advanced Degrees" work field, or work in traditional professional fields, such as lawyers, doctors, architects, engineers or teachers.

NIW Key points in the application
In addition to meeting 3 of the 6 mentioned earlier, applicants also need to meet the three standards established in the Dhanasar case, namely:
1. The applicant's professional research field has substantial value and national significance;
2. The applicant is in a favorable position to promote progress in this field;
3. After balancing various factors, the applicant is exempted from work opportunities and labor certificate requirements will benefit the national interests of the United States.
There is one thing we need to pay attention to here, that is, The US Immigration Bureau does not stipulate established rules or statutory standards for "national interests", but will make a judgment by analyzing the individual situation of each applicant.
Signature Home has compiled a few factors that the Immigration Bureau will consider when judging whether the applicant's national interest exemption application is in line with the national interests of the United States:
1. Whether the applicant's immigration to the United States will have a beneficial impact on the economic development of the United States;
2. Whether the applicant's work can help improve the health care conditions in the United States;
3. Whether there are relevant agencies of the United States government to specifically require that the application should be approved;
4. Whether the applicant's immigration to the United States can help train American workers and educate American children;
5. Whether the applicant's immigration to the United States can help improve the housing conditions of the poor, old and young people;
6. Whether the applicant's immigration to the United States can improve the environment and make better use of natural resources;
7. Whether the applicant's immigration to the United States can improve the working conditions of American workers and increase the wage level.
In the NIW application process, a very important but often overlooked key link is how to effectively organize proof materials. An immigration officer reviews hundreds of NIW applications every year. A messy application will increase the difficulty of reviewing an immigration officer, which is not conducive to the successful approval of the application.
To summarize, the key point is that when submitting the NIW application, the applicant can prepare a brief outline or form of the supporting materials, so that the immigration officer can see it at a glance.
