Advantages of the EB-2 National Interest Waiver
Long-term Solution
The EB-2 NIW puts you or your employee on a path to obtaining permanent residency through a green card. Permanent residency enables you or your employees to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.
Flexible criteria
Favorable towards individuals with advanced degrees, progressive work experience, or past accomplishments. Self-petition is an option in some cases.
H-1B Benefits
EB-2 approval grants individuals on H1-B status an extension. If your spouse is on H-4, an EB-2 approval can be used to apply for your spouse's H-4 work authorization.
